    Hi,

    This is a rather unusual looking (and in very poor condition) cast iron swordsman, it has a slot on the back but seems to small to be a money box, I have a feeling its been sat (or dug up) in somebodies garden, if you can shed any light on this one please feel free to post :)

    Thank you everyone

    PS. apx dimensions are 16x5x7cm SAM_2538.JPG SAM_2539.JPG SAM_2540.JPG

    Looks a bit like George Washington. That gesture with his right hand and the uniform with the epaulet fringe going clear across his back.

    Good job, Messi! Isn't there a painting of him in that pose?

    Lots of them - some in uniform, some in just a suit.
    And many with that hand out, but then he was, after all, a politician. :D
