Mystery 'Blenheim'

Digging around the garage looking for a pot of paint I came across a model Blenheim that my grandfather gave me. He worked in the scrap metal industry and gave me this sometime in the 1960s. It appears to be made of solid copper or brass and is very heavy. I'm pretty sure it dates from World War 11.



I once saw another one made of a darker metal (possibly pewter). Again I think my grandfather had given this to a cousin.

It's fairly crudely made but clearly an early version of the Bristol Blenheim.

Does anyone know what the background to this object might be?

Thanks for any info provided
