Bronze WW1 British soldier

About six months ago I came across a very charming hot-cast bronze statue of a WW1 British soldier which was in an unfinished condition. The top portion of the rifle is missing, the gap between the legs was full of flash, a thick seam ran around the figure, and there was a rather large square spigot of solid bronze affixed to the left leg. There was also a hole drilled through the cast base too. After some careful ‘fettling’ with a dremmel, and now mounted on a small block of wood, it looks much better than when originally purchased It stands about four inches tall and is really quite well detailed. I have no idea how old it is, but I sense that it probably has some age to it. My wife absolutely loves it and has claimed it as her own.

Cheers,
Steve.
