Unknown makers of composition soldiers: Schusso

Georg Schuster's company "Schusso" started producing composition soldiers in 1931. Initially, the manufacturing process was similar to the processes implemented by Leyla and Froha - the oven-dried compacts were deburred and painted at home. In 1937, however, G. Schuster acquired the rights to a special manufacturing process that was practical became the forerunner of today's injection molding process. The manufactured thereby pellets had to be air dried. The rapidly expanding company was completely off track by the war thrown: Schuster was drafted into military service in 1939. In 1943, the company premises were confiscated for the war efforts. Georg Schuster died in Soviet captivity in 1945.
