    THis one has the sceptre mark without the KPM, so my guess is that this is around late 18th century. Also many of these are mythological characters so which one is she? I recently purchased but have yet to pick up, these are all the photos I have at this time.

    Nice piece, that. Not sure of age, not new for sure, but I have seen 20thc bits with solo marking like that ...so I believe they may have been marking like that now and again through the years.

    Very He. Don't let the rouge and the lipstick fool you. Men have a right to wear those too.;)
    My great-grandfather wore rouge, he was a bit of a dandy, and by all accounts a lot of fun to be with.

    So who are the male hunters in mythology? He's carrying a horn, and that looks like a bow under his left leg (and something else?) and he's got the dog.

    I think there are slight differences in the sceptre mark and this one looks like the 1820-30 version. May be wrong can’t check my book until tomorrow.

    yes thank you Moreother for restating my question. which male mythological figure is this?

    blooey: yes hard to say, but its pedigree is impeccable it comes from the estate of Catherine Eddy Beveridge philanthropist and socialite. Its been in her hands and her descendants for many years.

    Apollo killed a python and he was supposed to be the most beautiful god so maybe him...

    A hunting horn and a dog? I vote Actaeon, and I think he would have had an Artemis partner at one point. Actaeon is frequently depicted with dogs, whereas I can’t think of another well-known Greek or Roman figure who is.

    Here's a Derby figure of Diana and Acteon:

    Nope.
    Here's a Derby figure of Aphrodite (Venus) and Adonis:

    Nope. Gonna try this again: Selene and Endymion

    Could be Endymion. A lot of parallels.

    *******
    Reasonably confident it's Endymion.

    Another figure of Endymion:
