Featured Vintage soldier figurine

Hey folks!

I am not sure if I've posted this one here before, but I still hope I can find out anything useful on this lovely figurine. I love this one, but have no clue who made it, when etc.
Height of the figurine approx. 32 cm (12.5 inches). No marks, only some kind of number on the back.

Thanks so much!

He is lovely, in his Hessian boots.

How elegant he is. Id guess 1920s just because of the face.

 

Here's a much older face and hair that is very similar ... but it's more finely painted. Possibly modeled after this type of figurine?

I searched for some time and tried many combinations without results.

I bet someone knows the answer from this angle.
When was airbrush decoration of this type widely used and when did they cut corners by not painting the back side?
To me, it does have a 1920s look, but only from the application of its decoration.

 

Thanks for your input
For some reason, this figurine is a mystery to me as I am not able to find anything remotely similar in style anywhere. :/

 

Oh, lovely! I don't buy figurines often, but do like this one.
