Victoria...That is all I could find on him.

I know we went to his home in Norfolk after the Bunwell field trial to collect a couple of resin Brittanys. He still has the mould.
Somehow they did not sell on the shop's table and I ended up selling one to David hayes in Ireland. I have the other as I like it...
Cool

If they were bronze they would be really expensive Confused

Don't think so,but i will have a look you need to look after your books, joking apart it would be worth a look for the shear quality of finish.

I like Dr Johnson's cat. Mainly because it reminds me of the nearby pub. A fine Pedigree drunken

I can lay no claim to that being my work - it is a cast of an original.

I have however done this one based on your one - if you see what I mean - changed the nose, some of the fur and foot detail and the shape of the ground; then patinated the bronze.
