First, I have to start with the fact that I do not know much about toy soldiers even though I just bought 10,000 from man who collected in his whole life. He seemed to think these were really good. I have no idea why they were all attached with the string they got so tangled up. I couldn’t figure out how to untangle them and I thought the string can’t be that valuable because it doesn’t even look that old to me in any case someone out there knows what this is and I do combine shipping and get a chance. Look at my feedback thank you very much.
