King & Country WS373 HJSS Advancing Firing Rifle: The Gewehr 43 in a Forward-Leaning Pose

Movement and aiming share one figure

The upper body points toward the rifle’s line while the legs suggest a forward step. That creates a different impression from the planted kneeling posture of WS370.

The patterned jacket and plain gray trousers are joined by a plain helmet. Straps and belt equipment give the back and waist enough detail to reward a second viewing angle.

A useful comparison within the infantry group

WS362 carries his rifle low during an advance; WS373 has already brought his weapon to the shoulder. Placing their photographs together shows two different moments without requiring a claim that the men represent a documented sequence.

King & Country assigns this anonymous figure to its Normandy HJSS subjects. The set does not identify a named soldier, village or precise encounter.

For a small display, leave enough space ahead of the barrel to make the direction clear. The figure itself supplies the action; an elaborate background is optional.

WS373 contains one rifleman on the scenic base shown. The weapon profile, forward lean and clothing combination are the practical details that distinguish it when several similar figures appear in one secondhand listing.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived WS373 product record lists a release date of November 2022 and a retirement date of June 2025. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
