    Hi, any help identifying who or what this guy might be would be much appreciated
    No markings were visible underneath. Just a single tiny old nail holding the base to the statue

    Can you show the top of the weapon? Is it a spear?

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Seriously thought the first one could be some tridentless Poseidon, but okay, maybe conquistador.

    I’m seeing similar called everything from Don Quixote to Knights Templar, and Vikings. :p

    My first thought was Viking with a fishtail, but I suspect they are Spanish souvenirs. The old nail may have been sitting in a box for ages, because this guy doesn't look very old. Except for the beard, maybe.:playful:

    It may be the same subject, but it is a very different style. You can't compare the two.
    Don Quixote generally wears a shaving bowl for a helmet btw, with a distinct rim.
