"One of several Classics (1:12 scale) families introduced in the mid-to-late 1970s was the Andalusian family, and this cantering stallion sculpture was its patriarch. The Andalusian Stallion (mold #3060ST), sculpted by Chris Hess, captures this romantic Spanish breed with a billowing mane and tail and timeless elegance. One colorway that he was never released in is this golden palomino with one hind sock and a wide blaze – this piece likely dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s and was ultimately never used. The actual production tool is in delicate condition and used sparingly if at all today.
This test run model is in good condition overall with a few small flaws from being handled over the years – these include a handful of shiny and small black marks, and a few pinpoint rubs on the left side neck. Tiny blemishes may be present due to the handcrafted nature of this piece. This model is priced at $800 and comes with a certificate of authenticity." www.breyerhorses.com.
