(9) Lineol/Elastolin Italian Tropical Troops & German DAK Guard
Nine Lineol and Elastolin Italian tropical troops and German DAK guard figures are grouped with a hand-painted wooden sentry box and related North African campaign material. The figures include a dispatch motorcyclist on a tan-painted motorcycle, a sentry handler with a German Shepherd guard dog, a standard bearer carrying a removable metal Italian colonial flag, a pioneer engineer with a raised shovel, a soldier looking through binoculars, a combat shooter firing a pistol, and an Italian Askari soldier wearing a draped headcloth. The centerpiece accessory is a tan-painted wooden guard box with a hand-rendered German Afrika Korps (DAK) palm tree and swastika motif on the back panel. Also included is a period photograph showing soldiers gathered around fuel drums in a desert camp. Normal light wear from age and handling is present. The motorcycle measures approximately 9.5 cm L, the wooden guard shack measures approximately 11 cm H, and the figures measure approximately 7 cm to 7.5 cm H from the base to the top of the head. The figures show light wear and are in very good overall condition.
