Soldier statue wearing Auer gas mask

[Sgt. Steiner]

Great item. Love the details.

[Gran Sasso]

With an eagle on the belt buckle sort of makes me think it's a 3rd Reich figure

Reichswehr also showed an eagle on the buckle...

[RonR]

No, it's a Reichswehr buckle.

Yup like posted buckle of the Reichswehr. Thank you for pointing that out to me..... I stand corrected.... Harold

wow, I didn't know these existed. Great figures. Degea was indeed the forerunner for the Auer brand. Although the name was officially changed from Degea to Auer in the mid 1930's they still used the Degea name for export gas masks.
