Pity its a WW1 figure great pose make a good WW2 figure.




Well i believe is a prototype so maybe will be corrected, but seems he doesn't wear boots or puttes..the short puttees are typical of a second world war landser...
Good catch. I'm so used to seeing the 'Y' strap that I didn't even notice it. -- AlThe "Y" strap harness was only issued to cavalry in WW1, as the infantry pack was designed to support the belt. Although some are rarely seen being worn by members of sturm units, the usual was to use a spare strap from the bread bag. I believe the "Y" strap was not on general issue until 1934.
