Note : First made by Elastoin in 1942/3 for the Swiss market and then,after the war,until 1960. Later postwar heads were plastic and not porcelain.
      Hint of a crack at upper end of right leg. There is no apparent wear to the figure. Porcelain head is pristine with an excellent likeness. Excellent paint quality and uniform detail. Note the photos that show a plastic head.This is for comparison only and it is not included in the sale. Fairly often you will see a figure with the plastic head offerd as a porcelain head.Sometimes the other way around..!!
   Overall in excellent condition on a scarce porcelain head personality figure. Cat # 0651/2...catalog photo is from 1958 Hausser catalog and the figure is merely labeled \"general\". 7.5 cm.....

Terms of Sale:I allow returns on what I sell.Just tell me why you don\'t care for what you bought and you can return it.You have 30 days to return.I myself avoid sales where the item that is sold can not be returned.In all my years of buying soldiers from dealers both here and in Germany,I never encountered one who would not allow returns.\"As is\" or no returns is used at live sales where you can see and touch an item in person.Always looking to BUY composition figures and equipment by Hausser(Elastolin) and Lineol.Got a question about a figure on ? Always willing to discuss or answer questions about German Composition..[phone removed by ]..Thanks for you interest.......

About Catalog Photos for Most Listings-All Figures Inspected with A Black Light....

....\" _____ FOR IT\'S AGE....\" Composition material is about like concrete.It is NOT fragile.If ,however,a figure is stored under conditions of heat/dampness,the paint can deteriorate.Composition also shrinks over time which causes stress cracks.There is NO connection between the age of these figures and the actual condition of an individual figure.Try not to buy poor quality figures.There are a lot out there in very good or better condition.Be patient and \"good luck\".
\"Some people are in good condition for their age\"......This truism does not apply to German Composition figures....

German Composition Scale Reference : A marching figure is measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the helmet. Some variation in height can be expected due to the molding process. Kneeling,prone,etc. figures,as well as the horses,have the same scale but do measure differently.

SCALES : 4.5 cm = 1 49/64 inches tall...6.0 cm = 2 7/16 inches tall....6.5 cm = 2 9/16 inches tall... 7.0 cm 2 3/4 inches tall..7.5 cm 2 61/64 inches tall...10.5 cm = 4 9/64 inches tall...

I have collected German Composition for about 25 years and these are my thoughts about buying AND selling these items on .Stating that a figure is all original is meaningless unless it is examined under a black light.I check all my figures under a black light and tell you about touch-ups and repairs if any.Also,in most cases,I have the same figure in my collection for further comparison.I clearly describe and back up what I sell.

A 7.5 cm(3 inches) marching figure would be 1/24 th scale.A six foot individual would be 3 inches.Since the base is included in the 7.5 cm,this would make a figure about 5\'8\' and the scale 1/26 th. German Composition is considered to be 1/26 th scale.
