If for any reason it needs to be taken down please do!! It seems to me a rider on a horse in a shooting position .Its made out of silver , and its 4.5 cm high with no marks or mintmarks on it . Cant understand what it was for It doesent look like a toy since its silver No hook on it if it was a pendent too small to be a statue with no stand marks A medal of some sort ? iT was found in greece and looks pre war so it could haVe something to do with English German Italian since they took part in the war. any help would be great , thankw everyone Report this Post to the Staff

However, you say that it is 4.5 cm long, which is quite large. It must be quite heavy--probably too heavy to be jewelry.

Another thought is an award medal from a mounted shooting competition. Just WAGs. Report this Post to the Staff

The horses tail appears to have broken off, This is where it could have been mounted. I am thinking it is one of the horses out of an old horse racing machine that were popular at funfairs and amusement parks at one time Edited by trout1105 09/17/2016 08:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
