Description
Metal Hussar Toy Soldiers is a set of eleven very detailed metal toy soldiers, Hussar based on costuming. The set includes 8 foot soldiers with swords, 1 trumpet soldier, 1 officer and1 flag bearer. Based on the soldiers bases appears to be a Britains toy soldier set but I could not match up to the information books and internet search (toy soldiers are not in my wheel house).
A toy soldier is a miniature figurine that represents a soldier. The term applies to depictions of uniformed military personnel from all eras, and includes knights, cowboys, American Indians, pirates, samurai, and other subjects that involve combat-related themes. Toy soldiers vary from simple playthings to highly realistic and detailed models. The latter are of more recent development and are sometimes called model figures to distinguish them from traditional toy soldiers. -Wikipedia
By the 19th century, hussars were wearing jackets decorated with braid plus shako or busby hats and had developed a romanticized image of being dashing and adventurous.
