HISTORICAL NOTE

Britains hollowcast SOLDIERS THAT WILL SHOOT were introduced in 1895 as a novelty line. These very similar solidcast figures were evidently made in Germany. Either they pre-date the Britains figures or they were brought out in competition with them, and from the uniforms they were intended for export to the USA.
