Hi everyone,
I am trying to source an original swallow mascot but lack the expertise to identify them from the small number of items available online. I am of the belief that the original mascots were made of bronze (which is a key reason for the purchase) but the sellers that I have found online are struggling to confirm whether the items they are selling are said material and/or whether they are genuine pieces.
Does anyone have one they are interested in selling or can anyone provide any assistance in identifying a likely genuine article.
I have attached a picture I've received from one seller and a couple of ebay links (first one suggests it is made of brass and second suggests silver colour metal so possibly not hopeful?!)
