Description

Impressive early Wehrmacht bust of Unteroffizier Kruse serving with Infanterie-Regiment 6. He received the bust from his comrades of the Unteroffizier-Korps for his 12th anniversary. He also left the unit (most likely his military service was over).

A very nice bust showing a soldier on his horse. The rifle was made separately by the manufacturer and is not attached to the bust. A small accessory is also missing (spade? there is a small metal loop on the saddle cloth). 

Furthemore an attached "800" silver tag on the front of the base. Engraved "Dem ausscheidenden Kameraden Uffz. Kruse z. Erg.a.s. 12jährige Dienstzeit. Das Uffz.-Korps 13.(M.W.) I.R.6".

Silvered. Black marble base. Lovely patina.

Height: 29 cm.

Weight: 3.66 kg.
