My neighbor Earl H. passed away a couple of years ago. He served in the RCAF as a wireless operator in Halifax and Lancaster bombers and was a really nice fellow. He did not bring back much from Europe in the way of souvenirs but he knew of my interests, and while cleaning out an old desk about 10 years ago he found this item and gave it to me.
Due to the background I am in no doubt as to it's authenticity, but I have searched the forum yet found no other examples like it. It is unmarked but does have a high silver content. A light rub of my finger will wipe off the oxidation on the raised surfaces. Give it a month or two and it will be completely black again. If anyone has any information or comments, or indeed knows the maker of this bird I would be most interested.
