[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 2808359, member: 5006"]:kiss: AJ! After some long time spent searching, I agree with you, he is a regular South of North :hilarious: Africa man, wearing a burnous and chechia! None of the uniforms of colonial indigen troups had blue chechia... Thanks Figtree! Absolutely, oxidized like silver, just a gentle wash and silvercloth show the true metal color. Thank you stracci! Thanks Fid, I explored those possibilities... No blue chechia in their uniforms and no burnous directly on the body, he is a regular North Africa native with black man features. South of North Africa;) Thanks Debora! I had to have him...:joyful: Thank you OBB, it was my first thinking from the rather dark images of the listing, and the paint, but he is made of silver! Thanks Mos! Thought that too, but he is not bronze, nor lead. Silver, cold painted! Cheryl, :kiss:, I have to agree!:joyful: Thank you sassafras! Even under a loupe, he is so lifelike![/QUOTE]
