Apologise for the picture quality.
Just purchased this figure for £7 MOC.
He has no insignia on his chest or painted shoulder.
Anyone seen this carded variant before?

Does that mean he is a German one miscarded?

That's cool.

Yes the German figure did have painted shoulders so this seems to be a one off :)

Also picked up this little note book for £1 which goes nicely with the rest of my stationary set.

Great stuff, well done Mr Forrest
That notebook is awesome!
Is that in the BFTB archive? I don't remember seeing it before.
Where did you find that?

It was on Ebay listed poorly, there are some similar items in the archive under stationary but not this particular one.

Nice result, a good hunt too by the look of it.

Black Major arrived today and does have painted shoulders so looks like redrage is correct and it is a miscarded German figure :)
Also got a Artilleur figure with a painted weapon (the saucey git).
