Description from the seller
Antique German Masse figures – Imperial infantry in marching formation – ca. 1900–1925 (10 pieces)
Very fine and original set of antique German miniature soldiers, produced as Imperial (Prussian) infantry in marching formation. These figures are made from so-called composite material (Masse), a light material that around the early 20th century was widely used for quality toys and dioramas.
The soldiers wear the characteristic German Imperial uniform with Pickelhaube, and are individually hand-painted. The natural wear and aging of the paint confirm the authenticity and age of the set.
Details
• Quantity: 10 figures
• Material: Composite / Masse (no lead)
• Origin: Germany
• Period: circa 1895–1925
• Height: approx. 6–7 cm per figure
• Execution: marching / parade
• Painting: original, hand-painted
• Condition: good antique condition, with visible signs of use and aging (see photos)
Special features
• Lightweight, typical for Masse figures
• No modern replicas
• Beautiful uniform group, ideal for collector or military diorama
• Increasingly hard to find in complete sets
Condition note
These figures are over 100 years old. Wear, paint loss and small irregularities are part of the age and enhance the authentic character.
