Tristan,
This is a fine addition for you and has always been a personal favorite, a top-quality model of a Damhirsch. (fallow-deer)
Yours is the first one I recall seeing with the decorative gilded stripe on the base, that's a classy little touch, nice.
The examples that they made in the thirties are especially nice, both white and decorated versions. There was one, maybe more, painters that decorated this piece to absolute perfection. The deer literally looks like it can just get up and walk away ... with their distinctive white-spotting, these are truly lovely animals.
T, I think this is a 1936 mark, no? Sometimes these markings with all their dots, doo-dads, dribbles and dashes make my head spin round ...
Very nice good sir, very nice!
Bill
