Car Bonnet Ornament ID

[JF Pics]

I have searched with no success to ID this car bonnet ornament. Thought I'd chance my arm here and see if anyone knows what it is.

Could be a manufacturer fitted one ( I'd guess 20's-40's) or an off the shelf job from a parts place.
It looks like some Alvis ones, but haven't found an identical one anywhere online.
It's solid, heavy, with a screw on the base to attach it and has no markings of any sort on it anywhere.

Thanks in advance ! I have faith

I'm afraid my first thoughts were "Aftermarket" and "Do I tell him, 'crude casting! Too crude for Alvis!'"

Then, if it helps, a few seconds on Google Images found the same mascot, apparently with Desmo markings

... it sold though!

That is brilliant!
I wasn't bothered about the value etc, was a memento of a family member, would never sell it regardless. But have struggled to ID it.
Had thought it might well be after market, but never managed to find it anywhere.
I'll double check for markings, but that is definitely it.

Seriously, you have made my day
