I hope you have some kind of positive I.D. on this Kev. I've searched my own books looking for something similar but to no avail.

Intriguing one this one, It's a bit misleading as it is missing the end of it's nose and is representative rather than a true likeness.
Given that he is wearing a military uniform that has both epaulettes and a mandarin collar, I think dates it to the the later 19th C at the earliest and the goaty beard was typical of the early 20th C. If the stars are meant to be awards, then the only leader that fits the size is  Edward VII.

That's ME! Even got the military kit on.

Have to agree Chef, I thought it was one of the Edwards or possibly a russian coz of the collar and uniform style. They are all related so its hard to tell them apart anyway.

I think you might be right there Chef - the medals do seem to tie in as well

I don't think you will ever get a positive ID from it on it's own as it is only a caricature of the real person, you would need to find one in situ attached to a tankard or whatever it came from with the name written underneath.
But there is nothing that remotely looks medieval about it,  glad Mark isn't my FLO lol

Looks like a caricature of Edward V11 to me, but the final identification, when & if it comes, could easily dismiss this idea, so in the words of Duncan Bannatine, i`d like to announce........."i`m out"  Roll Eyes
