The Dresden Field Marshall and Capodimonte Imperial Guard Grenadier Officer each have metal long guns that fit in their hands. 

Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. The figurines display beautifully with vibrant colors and bright gold gilding. Edges and plumes of hats show minor paint/color loss. The Officer of the Chausseurs à Cheval has a repaired hand and appears to have held a standard or flag, but it is missing. French Imperial Guard Foot Grenadier Officer has a firing crack on the underside of the base, this is original to production and not post-factory damage. Please see photos.
