Description:
A substantial solid sterling silver model of a Supermarine Spitfire — the legendary British fighter plane of WWII — with fine cast detailing throughout.
Silver & Hallmarks
Stamped 925 for sterling silver fineness, alongside a cluster of small Continental-style hallmark punches (shield and animal motifs among them), consistent with Dutch, Belgian, or German assay practice rather than UK hallmarking. Maker and country of origin not conclusively identified — shown clearly in photos for buyers with hallmark expertise.
Weight & Build
Solid cast silver, not thin stamped sheet — a genuine 129 grams. This is a piece with real heft and presence, not a lightweight novelty.
Detailing
Crisp engraved panel lines across wings and fuselage, a free-spinning propeller, and painted exhaust stack detail on the cowling.
Condition
Used, sold as seen — please study all photos closely. There is a hairline split with an old repair at one wingtip; checked by hand and it's solid with no movement, but fully disclosed here for transparency. Light surface tarnishing consistent with genuine age and handling, which will polish up beautifully if you choose to.
Why buy this
A lovely piece for collectors of aviation memorabilia, WWII militaria, or silver collectables — and with genuine sterling silver content, it carries solid intrinsic value on top of its display appeal.
Please ask any questions before bidding or buying. Combined postage available on multiple purchases.
