Any info on this little fellow

[Gordon]

I received this little guy today Hes about 142g and about 10-11 cm tall and stamped 925 in a couple of places. Just wondering if anyone has any info on him ?

I know its stating the obvious, but judging by the beak I'd say it's an albatross - so a trophy for hitting a 3 under?

[Arganto]

Yes, it's mine. I, er, lost it!

Seriously though, how cool is that!

It looks to me as though it is supposed to be an inkwell or pen holder, but not an albatross.

Are there any maker's / spnsor's marks on it?

It looks like something that would occur if a cartoon crow and a cartoon stork had a baby.

Good call on the inkwell holder I reckon.

He’s a swallow. I bet he regretted swallowing that golf ball though!

For some reason I think this is really cool! And I'm not a golf fan.

Ive never played golf but i do love silver and this little guys great. The average gold ball weight is 45-46g So just under 100g of silver in it. I thought most of the weight would be in the beak but its in the legs. I would love to find out some more info about him and is there are any more out there like him to collect

The hallmark looks like it might be Italian.
