Goose Step 1-2!


The goose step is a special marching step performed on formal military parades and other ceremonies. While marching in parade formation, troops swing their legs in unison high off the ground, while keeping their legs straight and unbent.

The figures are largish 54mm ( almost 60mm really) recasts of a Marx Warriors of the World WW1 German soldier "Friedrich Baden."

Richard later used three lions passant in his 1198 Great Seal of England, and thus established the lasting design of the Royal Arms of England.
