Rare Prussian Soldier on Horseback Pull Toy

Germany, probably Nuremberg, first quarter of the 19th century, an incredibly early example of German toy production.

Very Good (repainted epaulettes on uniform, some composition cracking on horse body and soldiers right leg, an incredibly well preserved toy for its age)
