12cm., 4¾in long
208gr., 6½oz
Given the precision of the detailing and high quality casting and construction of the present lot, it seems likely that it was a private and unique commission, quite probably made for the owner of the racehorse.
Possible candidates for the horse and rider are Fred Archer and Iroquois who in 1881 won the Epsom Derby and the St. Leger Stakes.
