Having difficulty's finding who made this horse, it's not Beswick, perhaps it is Melba?

Are you sure it's not Beswick, TC? It looks very much like some of the Beswick ones here: http://www.modelhorsegallery.info/B/Beswick/MHCs_BESoth.html and here: http://www.beswickhorse.co.uk/newindex123.html

It does look like a Beswick but I have checked each horse in my Beswick book and it isn't there unfortunelty.  :(

Hi Tony, maybe it is Melba ware, look between it's front legs on the chest, the marks can be very feignt.

Oh, forgot to say, there's an impressed mark under the front legs, just can't make it out.
