    I could use some help to ID this rooster.
    He is 11" long and 7" tall. weight is 4 lbs
    Under one wing it says made in Greese
    But under the other one there is a lot of writing I think is Greek?
    "Please tell me I have a 4 lb sterling rooster" hahaha
    Because the writing is under the wing i had to take a couple different angle shots

    If I've copied this bit correctly,
    ΑΠΑΓΟΡΕΥΕΤΑΙ Η ΑΝΑΤΥΠΩΣΙΣ
    IM Translator tells me it means 'replacement is forbidden'. Think you can take this to mean 'copyright'. What is below that is the name, but too dark to read.

    Thanks Bronwen. I'll try to get a better pic. I also should have got the other one. Didn't realize that fighting cocks needs two and that they were a pair. There is a lot of these out there but these are much nicer and larger than most.

    If you can't get a photo, copy it out on a piece of paper in large enough letters to be able to photograph that.

    That N is off by itself and larger than the other letters

    Is there a number after that by any chance?

    That matches well with what I see, but think we need @shallow_ocean_spectre again to bring his superior knowledge of Greek. It's not quite making sense to me.

    That's a sigma. I meant after the N.

    @Bronwen - Dunno. The third character's a Martian, and the last is a sideways double-U.
