'Once a Blade...' is a painting by Dave H which depicts a grey haired Special Forces Chelsea Pensioner ready for action in his scarlet tunic - and respirator.

The sixth in the 'National Treasures' range, it is a break away from the usual dark and often depressing subjects portrayed by Dave H. Instead it is a light-hearted look at the Chelsea Pensioners - loved by all, they truly are National Treasures.

The painting is an original Acrylic on 220gsm canvas paper. It is A3 sized and comes unmounted and unframed, although A3 is a standard frame size.

£500 from the sale of this painting is pledged to the Chelsea Pensioners' Fund.

The price includes UK/BFPO P&P. International postage is also possible, at cost to the customer, but please contact us for the costs prior to purchasing.
