Hi guys

Been after another for a while to go with a nice cross I picked up.

This one has come up.

Any thoughts on maker. Only pic I have for the moment...



Many thanks

Cheers Jim.

To me this one's got to be an unknown maker (or a second Deumer die). It's been discussed recently a couple of times -- there's just a couple of differences from a standard Deumer that make me think it's not one. Of course, if we could see one stamped L/11 we'd know.

For me, looks like a Deumer fabrication

I wouldnt have brought it up myself because I'm very new to this but since Deumers are all I have so far to verify against I think that Streptile has a good point here: if it is a Deumer, its a different die.

Hard to judge from the outline because hand finishing can change the outer shape but IMO, the shape of the talons is very different (no curves/lumps on Deumer talons, just straight lines) and on Deumers the wings always connect on the sides of the hearth shaped chest while they connect on the top of the body mass on this bird

Something I picked up on too.

The pattern to the chest plumage is also a little different.
