Can’t find any marks here. Not sure of the material, plated or pewter/lead or so.

    You almost never include dimensions which is probably fine with most posters but I don’t like to search for info without having such basic info that I think is important. But again, completely your choice. But as part of my personal “anger management” tools I usually put non-dimension people on my “ignore” list.

    Unless they have different molds in this size. The example from the R side has the tail curved back, mine is the other way.Then the Weidlich body and neck are more straight.

    I'll throw in that these are also often made in Spain.

    I've always thought that these were knock-offs of Bucceletti silver birds.
