Lot of figurines (soldiers) of the lower ranks of field artillery in the form of 1881.

The selection of the 17 figures are presented as ranks from field, field and horse artillery. The shape of the sample 1881, easily recognizable by his uniform in the "Russian style" without buttons, artillery was distinguished by red epaulets, special artillery equipment and weapons. In addition, some depicted wearing the wing cap, established in 1881 as a ceremonial headdress. The colors of the uniforms given fairly accurately. Most likely, when figure painting was used by a specialized reference print edition, for example "Form of the Russian army" edition, S. Sauvage, or "Control table", but should not be excluded that the set was accompanied by clear instructions for the colouring of soldiers, and possibly a set of paints. The difference of the ranks from artillery from the horse is the color of the trousers: they are from dark green, the same color as the uniform, horse – gray-blue. Guards to gunners, in contrast to the army, depended the red edging on the trousers, some figures painted thus part of the lot. Among the figures of several rooms: some are depicted with a swab in position "to the leg, others with a swab for the action (cleaning and cooling of the barrel), the third – porters charges with the charging amounts, the fourth in the position for self-defense when the infantry attack (the pistol). Among the images there is one scorer (the equivalent of corporal in the infantry), a difference which was red stripe of braid on the cuffs. Command structure (feuerwerker and officers), although it has clearly traced differences (probably due to a negligence of a young artist), easily recognized by the particular "authoritative" positions. All artillery are armed, as in reality, sabers and revolvers. The only inaccuracy molder is that revolver holster wear not everyone on the right and on the left side; not, however, ruled that this method for some time existed in practice. An instrument attached to a lot of probation, as it refers to an earlier era; nevertheless it derives from the same source as the soldiers, and, of course, used with games with these figures. With high probability it can be argued that the figures belonged to the son of officers in high rank or General. Tin soldiers of the late nineteenth century, especially in the original painting, these days occur in isolated instances. The presence of thematic clusters is the case, exceptional antique market.
