Selangor Pewter Figurine Base

This is a detailed view of the underside or base of a cast metal figurine, specifically identified by the impressed hallmark 'SELANGOR PEWTER 7732'. SELANGOR PEWTER, now known as Royal Selangor, is a world-renowned Malayan/Malaysian brand founded in 1885, famous for high-quality pewter craftsmanship. The item is constructed from cast pewter, exhibiting a characteristic soft, matte silvery-gray luster known as a 'satin finish'. The construction is solid and heavy for its size. Notable features include the crisp, sans-serif block letter stamping which indicates a manufacturing period likely between the 1960s and early 1990s, before the brand officially transitioned to the name 'Royal Selangor' in 1992. The numerical code '7732' likely serves as a pattern or model number for the specific figurine design. Condition-wise, the piece shows minor surface scuffing and small indentations consistent with age and the soft nature of the metal alloy (typically 92-97% tin). There is a slight dark patina developing in the recessed areas of the hallmark, adding to its character. The craftsmanship is evident in the even grain of the metal and the clear, well-aligned depth of the stamped mark.
