6 BRITAINS ALL METAL BRITISH WW1 INFANTRY ALL IN GAS MASKS SET
Note, It seems a bit rare to even have these today as so many wonderful and prized lead soldiers made before WWII were melted down to make real bullets for WWII soldiers to shoot. Sort of like in the Movie "Patriot" where the father melted down his sons toy soldiers to make bullets for him to shoot.
A rare surviving collection in any case
I believe these are all original and not recast or repainted, but I can not be 100% sure.
Hollow cast based on the holes in the helmets*
Hollow cast metal figures (standing, not sure of the ones crawling)
All were Made in England as best I can see and tell
INCLUDES
1 MAN THROWING GRENADE (HAS A POSSIBLE REPAIRED OR INCOMPLETELY CAST THROWING ARM.)
2 MEN CRAWLING (may not be hollow) (RIFLES ARE NOT FULLY PAINTED & 1 HAS AN UN-CAST HAND)
1 MAN DIGGING (SEEMS VERY NICE, HAS MOVING SHOVEL AND PIVOTING ARMS.) (best of them all)
2 MAN CHARGING (BOTH HAVE A REPAIRED ANKLES, 1 IS MISSING HIS BAYONET)
Hand-Painted Six-Piece metal figure Set
*The standing figures are hollow cast as best as i can tell,
the 2 crawling figures "may" be solid cast going on their weight & no visible hole in helmets
