Rifleman Steinbach German Nutcracker

Grenadiers were infantrymen in the 17th and 18th centuries who were originally armed with hand grenades and were an elite of infantry. With a size of 17", he is a proud grown soldier. In addition to about a dozen shells, his armament also includes a bayonet musket and a saber. He is also outwardly separate from other soldiers. As a status symbol and to make the wearer appear taller, our nutcracker wears a high and sometimes very heavy grenadier cap with metal shield, for which a chinstrap is necessary. Handcrafted and hand painted in Germany by Steinbach - this wooden Soldier Nutcracker is a beautiful gift item.
