Pig Submarine Statue Question

[AHX]

Hey gang,

Does anyone know much about this? I reckon I would have bought it either from here but didn't see anything in my post history or from eBay years ago, but I don't remember anything about it beside it obviously being a Panerai collectible. I googled for it, can't find this exact one, but did find some other similar looking ones, again not a whole lot of info though. Is this a rep thing?

Cheers,

AHX

If you want a good quality model for the PIG, go this one.

The finish and detail is much better than the panerai one IMO.

As per text I own the one pictured in my post. I was just trying to get more info about its background. And also if it is worth anything to sell or if I should just keep it for a keepsake, cause it is pretty cool. You're right though that eBay one is sweet.

I would keep it. It's an interesting artifact. As for the background, you should read about decima flottiglia M.A.S. Italian frog man used this human torpedo to sink allies' ships during WW2.
Here is the wikipage for the background but it's not in english.
