Anybody know more about him?

Cast iron, from the 30's? Just a guess. Here's a bunch to look at ..... https://www.google.com/search?q=cas..._oLVAhUC5WMKHcwgBZgQ_AUICygC&biw=1024&bih=512

Looks like an old Barclay, probably 30s-40s.

First thing I noticed: How does he salute with his weapon slung over his right shoulder?
Maybe your sailor is rare for that reason alone.

40s

He appears to be marching. That's how we did it in the army, too. But if he was to salute, you'd hold the strap with your left hand, then salute.

Really cool. I found mine on my uncle's shelf when I was a boy. Fortunately he is still whole, although I rubbed a little bit of paint off playing with it back then.

I was a kid in the 40's. Seems like I remember as soon as WWII started the lead and cast iron toys disappeared and were replaced with plastic. My guess is your sailor dates to the '30's or before.
