Hello. I'm sorry for writing in English, unfortunately, German is not available to
me. If this is not against the rules, I will duplicate this message in
German using an automatic translator. My question is related to this figure.
We have this figure for a very long time in our family.There are no brands
or signatures. My efforts to determine the country of origin and time were
unsuccessful. My efforts to determine the country of origin and time were
unsuccessful. This man clearly drank too much ... I try to pay attention to
his clothes, but there is nothing concrete yet. The material is spiart, an
alloy of lead and zinc - about 45% zinc, 45% lead and 10% are some other
impurities, the entire height is 17.3 cm, the height of a person is 11.3 cm.
I would be grateful for any opinions on this topic.

Hallo. Entschuldigung für diesen Beitrag in Englisch. Deutsch steht mir leider nicht zur Verfügung. Wenn dies nicht gegen die Regeln verstößt, werde ich diese Nachricht mit einem automatischen Übersetzer duplizieren.
Meine Frage bezieht sich auf diese Zahl. In unserer Familie ist diese Zahl eine sehr lange Zeit. Es gibt keine Marken oder Unterschriften. Meine Bemühungen, das Herkunftsland und die Zeit zu bestimmen, waren erfolglos.
Dieser Mann hat eindeutig zu viel getrunken ... Ich versuche, auf seine Kleidung zu achten, aber bisher nichts Konkretes.
Das Material ist Spiart, eine Legierung aus Blei und Zink - etwa 45% Zink, 45% Blei und 10% sind einige andere Verunreinigungen, die gesamte Körpergröße beträgt 17,3 cm, die Körpergröße einer Person beträgt 11,3 cm.
Für Meinungen zu diesem Thema wäre ich dankbar.

Ok, english is no Problem.

What we have here is a german Student of a Verbindung. Students Organisation of about 1900. Yes he seems drunk.

Nice work, never seen before.

I would expect a piece like this to be mounted on a plate.

Next time please use the Forum intern system for Fotos, than we can see them directly.

No Problem.

And welcome.

von Weinstock, Thank you very much for the answer. This is a fairly stable and heavy
figure - 300 gr. It has clean soles and the base of the lamp, without signs
of attachment to anything. Is it possible to establish a workshop where such
figures were made?
With best regards.

Interesting figure. At the first moment i thought this could be a Johnnie Walker Figure
I like the image of the "striding man". But here we have no cylinder and the striding man never looks so drunk.
Thanks to Weinstock who said it is a german student.
Yes, would be interesting to learn where and when and from whom this figure was made.
Any idea, someone?

Where do you come from, Boris?

[Boris]

Is it possible such figures to be unique ? Where can I see offers for similar products (lead + zinc)?
I live in St. Petersburg.

[Weinstock]

Without any marks i see no chance, to identify the maker.

I dont think it is a unique statue, but over 100 years, cheap material and 2 wars will habe destroyed most. Such funny Nippes (cheap decoration) was quite common in germany.

Like this here from cheap Porzellan.

About the statue: typical corps Student.
Hat called a "Tönnchen",
his boots are Kavallerie boots of about 1900.
He is wearing his "Verbindungsfarben" colours.
