Sorry Chezza, i did not read your heading properly. Your item is not a Kosta piece but was made by another Swedish company
called Afors.

Wearing my moderator hat I've tweaked the topic title from Kosta to Afors.

Chezza,

This is likely either GH 2 (10cm tall) or GH3 (15 cm tall), designed by Ernest Gordon, hand formed. He used similar coding to Kosta, where he worked previously. So an early design. The signature is not quite standard (usually Afors E Gordon GH number) but this might be before they’d sorted it out.
