For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

WW2 Red Army composition marines from GJ (Belgium)
The great unknown? GJ brand raises many questions. GJ produced 7cm composition soldiers in Brussels from 1935 -1950. GJ would be the initials of the Belarusian sculptor who made figurines for Belgiamn “cheap” retail stores.
GJ figurines produced after the war by the founder of GJ no longer bear the GJ mark under the base. The GJ figurines produced after the war are recognizable by the very particular style of GJ, high quality of sculpture, beauty of the colors.
