Hi i was wondering could this be an early Dutch makers mark as it appears the the other mark is a date letter, just a thought

Hi,

The quality and details of your pheasant doesn't look high and sharp, especially the head, tail and legs look a little dull. Perhaps pseudo marks, made 2nd half 20th-century.
Below a Dutch spice container, shaped as a pheasant with the proper Dutch (hall)marks, made 1930ties.

Hi, indeed a better image. The repair is not professionally done and appears to be a soldered lead/tin (pewter) tube.
