Doesn't exactly look like an army man, does it. Can you tell what he is carrying? Is that a shovel on the bottom, and what is slung over his shoulder? I was thinking maybe a hobo figurine, but who knows. Very cool find. Congrats. -Lisa & John

Neat find (lead toy). I am like btjbtj - can't make out what is "slung over his shoulder" - maybe a rifle or a sword? On the backside it sure looks like he is holding onto a shovel?

Two dimensional, semi-flat "officer" figure holding a riding quirt, or sword, to his shoulder. His head appears to have been cut and spun around to the side. Probably from a make-them-at-home kit from the 1930's, based on the uniform. Great find, congrats! Sub 8-)

It looks like an archer to me. With a bow over his shoulder, his quiver with at least on arrow on his left side along with what looks like a dog under his left arm and some kind of a bird on his left shoulder.
