A Dollhouse
Soldier
What makes a soldier special? First, one would want an original uniform with
details such as emblems glued on the jacket, no moth holes, a well fitted
uniform etc. This soldier is missing his hat. A gold ribbon across the chest
signifies he is a General. When you look at the boots he is wearing, the
bottoms of the boots are painted a bare beige. That means the boots are
original to the doll. You may also notice that there are spurs attached to
the back of the boots which sometimes help the soldier to stand on his own.
This soldier also has a soft metal sword at his side. This soldier was made
by the doll company Simon Halbig (P.S. – I made a thorough study of soldiers
– their history, when they were made, etc. A special dealer of uniforms and
weapons supplied me with lots of information. Most or all of my soldiers
were found in the Spanish Dolls' House where I had a Conference Room for
them!!!
