Description

Title: Monumental Bronze Statue of Imperial German Soldier
Description: This incredible life-like bronze done by Alois Mayer (German
1855-1939) is absolutely breathtaking. Standing at a little over 18 1/2" tall, the soldier proudly presents and waves his pickelhaube in the air with a stout pose with his bolt action rifle with sling at his front. Carrying a variety of field gear including his pack, ammo pouch, bayonet, canteen and more the quality and appeal of this piece is superb. Beneath his feet lay a plaque that has been hand engraved and dedicated the piece to  T
he officer corps of the K.B. Sergeant School. The quality of the bronze is incredible and the visual appeal from every angle makes this piece
truly shine. Bottom back of the piece is signed a.mayer. Soldier stands on a tiered stand giving him a further patriotic and magnifying pose.
Condition: Great. Under the left armpit there does appear to be some sort of decay/flaking of sorts. It is still extremely
structurally
sound but it does look a bit unusual.
Approx Measurements: 18 1/2" tall, 5 1/4" by 5 1/4" base. Weight: 8.3 lbs
About Me:
Like most, I picked up the collecting bug many years ago when I was younger rummaging through the nooks and crannies of my grandparent's summer house in upstate New York. Today, you can still see me doing the same thing, only I don't fit through much of those spots anymore but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the thrill of the hunt. I
am an avid enthusiast for all things unusual, one-of-a-kind, and historical, with a specific focus on militaria and other remarkable, eccentric, antique oddities.

It is my believe that the condition of an item is subjective, so I encourage you to look over each photo for your own condition assessment and when needed, inquire about additional photos or information regarding any of my items. As with any vintage item, there is expected to be some general signs of use and wear; if there is no mention that an item is New or Mint, you should expect this to be the case. Since this item is "as-is" and although I do not offer returns, please feel free to contact me regarding any questions or concerns. I try my best to accurately
