A closer inspection revealed that, yes, indeed, he is.
Made in Germany, not in China or Taiwan or someplace else.
Hello, Mr Soldier Nutcracker with your bright pretty colors and your little sword still intact!
I like him. I like that he is orange and blue, rather than another, perhaps more traditional color combination.
While I'm on the subject - I also found this VHS of Mikhail Baryshnikov in The American Ballet Theatre's production of "The Nutcracker" in a thrift store and I realized I did not have a copy, so I picked it up, too.
It had never even been opened.
Even if I don't have time to sit and watch it, I can put it in and crank up the volume, and listen to the fabulous Tchaikovsky music, which I LOVE.
Works for me!

Great nutcracker finds! Our neighbors in Diamond Springs, Dot and Ello, collected nutcrackers and I am sure they would think yours is a treasure. Love T
