Simply Stunning Beswick Model of Swish Tail Horse no 1182 by Arthur Gredington .Second version 8 popular .75 inches Grey Gloss 1982-1989
This popular has to be one of my favourite Beswick models.
It is a beautiful animal in excellent vintage condition.
Made only between 1982and 1989 (note short production run!) ,and designed by Arthur Gredington this is a second version where the tail is slightly lower down and only to the edge of the quarter …..in the 1st version the only difference is that the tail is attached to the quarter almost parallel to the ground.
He is in a natural pose,as though out in a field flicking his tail to discourage flies and gazing into the distance at something that has caught his attention.
He stands a full 8.75 cm tall 22.2 cm so is one of the larger models.Only issue is a slight indentation just above his tail which I have tried to show in photos.
In rare gloss grey this will be a collectible for the future and for the present its just lovely to have his company!
