I notice that there is the handle of a short sword on the left hip of the drummer.
Looking at the back of the figure, there is a dent in the coat skirt where a short scabbard should exit.
I intend to insert a scabbard in this position. The visual references of Prussian drummers seem to suggest either with or without a short sword.
Nice progress, Vic!
Some of the figures in the Army House catalog were sold by Franklin Mint in Germany. This one was in a series on Frederick the Great's army.
Army House as a brand is now available through Alymer, if I remember correctly.
Prost!

Hi Brad,
Yes. Now available thru Alymer. Guess what? When I toured Spain, I bypassed Valencia (home to the largest toy soldier museum in the world) and Alymer.
Spain is a biiig country.
