New to my collection:
Large bronze sculpture of a 19th century Imperial German Army Infantryman, weighing 3,75kg and measuring 44cm in height, from the 1890s, the figure depicts a soldier wearing a pre-1890 tunic with marksmanship lanyard and bearing a Gewehr 1888 with matching M1888 cartridge pouches, the pack, bayonet, entrenching tool, bread bag and water bottle are all nicely detailed, the Pickelhaube has both cockades and the soldier has high marching boots, the figure's base is signed with the artist's name and bottom is marked 29.1.89 (presumably the date), the foundry is unknown, sculpture shows wear and patina from long display and handling.
