A nice find, these look like the pin/broach figures that were made to be sold for the WHW (WinterHilfsWerk) charity. The alpine soldier with skis is quite common, they were more of a ceramic than masse composition.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this information Brian ! I really didn't know that these figures are made for WHW. Do you know the company ? As far as I know F.Fischer and Marolin were based in Thuringia.
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't know who made these particular figures, all sorts of things were produced by lots of companies all over Germany for the WHW, I will ask some of my friends.
