An exceptional Victorian carved wood pigeon decoy made for the gunsmith firm of Trulock & Harriss. The pigeon decoys of Trulock & Harriss are widely considered to be the best ever produced, and when you study the detail that the carver put into them, you can see why. This example is in superb condition, with most of its original paintwork still intact. It also has its original metal beak, and glass eyes. There is a small bit of damage to the tail area, and some minor wear overall. A rare survivor!
