I have a few of these given to me years ago from an auction. I do not know the manufacture. There are no markings on the box. To me it looks like a Prussian or French trooper from the Crimean. But not sure.
Looking to identify so I can sell.
Thanks for any help.

Don't know if I can help much but saw something like these in a antique shop. Are they "plastic" and if so could be German manufactured in the 1920-30's. I saw two sets one British Guards and another a fantastic group of German artillery with radio, officers, pieces, phone line layers ect.

They feel like metal.

I just never saw these before. Also have one that is a Roger's Ranger of all things. Not Britains for sure.

It looks like it has a mat finish. I thought that most old toy soldiers from the early 1900s were glossy.

Nothing on the bottom of the base? It could be a soldier cast from a prince Augustine self poor lead mold.

Chasseur a pied from 1848 onwards…

Take a look at the base… Normaly they have 2-4 letters for the factory code.

Is the Chasseur a pied figure solid-cast?
Any markings on or under the base as Rudi suggested?
54mm……….correct?
