Title: Nationality?
Post by: croc2259 on March 11, 2017, 03:50:00 PM

Dear Gentlemen, I recently purchased 6 of these figures on a well known auction site and thought that I knew what they were until they arrived. I cannot identify the insignia on the fusiliers cap. The figures are approximately 100mm tall and the mark on the base os a W with an O above and two I's one above the other. I would be very interested to have the benefit of your shared knowledge.

I'm guessing Prussian grenadier circa 1756

Hi Mike,
            Thank you for your rapid reply. I will have a look through my reference library and see where that leads.
Thanks again.
