Congrats Etex, Your soldier is a Manoil #47 "Anti-Aircraft Searchlight" in their original catalog, circa 1930-1940. Yours appears to be in great shape and is very desirable to collectors. Happy Hunting, Sub

Great finds! Those boys on the searchlights had a hard time, no flak jackets in those days! They had a solid beam I light to say here I am for any machine gun light planes escorting.
The color on the uniform is still perfect, again a great find.
