DESERT RAT

Stock number: SM089

After the First Gulf War of 1990/1, we made a large number of silver models of the famous 'Desert Rat'. This was the nickname originally given to the 7th Armoured Division of the British Army which fought in North Africa during World War II.

The First Gulf War was officially known as 'Operation Granby' in the British Army; and the 7th Armoured Brigade was once again referred to the 'Desert Rats'.

We made our silver models to commemorate the Coalition victory in this campaign.

The Rat is 3 1/4 inches high (8.5 cm).

All our models are made entirely by hand, here in England, by the finest craftsmen in the world -- in sterling silver. We only make them specially to order.

We can make anything to scale in sterling silver. All we need are plans and photographs.

Doesn't YOUR regiment deserve one of our silver models as a table centerpiece?

All the silver models shown on this website are one-offs and therefore no longer for sale as they were made specially for one of our clients. Please click the button below if you are interested in commissioning a new handmade silver model of your own.
