    Hello. This horse and jockey were once part of a trophy. I salvaged it from the garbage. It is not sterling but is covered with a silver skin of a pretty good thickness. I had to fix a broken foot and discovered it then. It weighs about 8 lbs and is 12 inches tall.
    The only mark on it is the BP in a triangle as shown. I think it may have come from Birmingham as some research shows.
    I am not familiar with this type of silver smithing so I would appreciate all information.
    Thanks in advance. PSX_20180113_154531.jpg 20180113_150304-1-964x882.jpg 20180113_150428-1-827x893.jpg 20180113_150542-1-791x1566.jpg 20180113_150914-1-201x248.jpg 20180113_150809-918x1632.jpg 20180113_150517-918x1632.jpg
