Description from the seller
Antique German Masse Figures – Imperial Infantry in Marching Formation – c. 1900–1925 (10 pieces)
Very fine and original set of antique German toy soldiers, made as Imperial (Prussian) infantry in marching formation. These figures are crafted from so-called composition material (Masse), a light material that around the early 20th century was widely used for quality toys and dioramas.
The soldiers wear the distinctive German Imperial uniform with Pickelhaube, and are individually hand-painted. The natural wear and paint aging confirm the authenticity and age of the set.
Details
• Quantity: 10 figures
• Material: Composition / Masse (no lead)
• Origin: Germany
• Period: ca. 1895–1925
• Height: ca. 6–7 cm per figure
• Manner: marching / parade
• Paintwork: original, hand-painted
• Condition: good antique condition, with visible signs of use and age (see photos)
Special features

• No modern reproductions
• Beautiful uniform group, ideal for collectors or military dioramas
• 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.
