Hi

I hope I've put this in the right category, if not my apologies.

This little item has been sat in my study for years and I thought it was about time to try and find out more about it, as my knowledge of Infantry regiments is limited, and I'm hoping you chaps can help.

I would imagine this is a presentation piece? which comprises of a model/Toy Tiger mounted on a hardwood plinth, complete with a small metal plaque engraved 'One of the 4 bn. Tigers'.

What is perhaps more interesting is the brass plaque on the under side of the plinth is engraved presumably with the recipients name 'Major R.W.Hall'.

Its very nicely made, thought I have no idea what it might have been a presentation for?

I am thinking there is a Leicestershire regiment connection here? Can anyone recall a Major Hall?

I think the piece is post 1950, as the hollow cast Tiger was apparently made by Timpo from that time.

I would be interested in any comments or observations members may have.

Thanking you all in anticipation.

Cheers
Rob
