Nutcracker Erzgebirge, sculpted, vintage, GDR hussar.

Here's some literature: "of course there would have been a lot of objections about his stature, for apart from the fact that the slightly long and strong upper body did not quite suit the small thin legs, the head also seemed far too big had a man of taste and close education, for he wore a very nice shimmering purple hussar jacket with lots of strings and white buttons, just such pants, and the most beautiful little boots that ever came at the feet of a student, even an officer so tightly molded on delicate legs as if they had been painted on them. It was funny that he hung a clumsy and narrow coat on the back of this garment, which looked like it was made of wood, and put on a miner's hat... " (eta hoffmann - nutcracker and mouse king) And here's the lead actor: A nutcracker from the metalliferous mountains of southeastern germany. Here dressed as a hunter. Height: 29 cm. Status: good with signs of wear proportional to age. Beware, the nutcracker is a role model. The tongs are soft wood, we do not recommend using them to really break nuts.
