King & Country WH043 Standing Firing Rifleman: A Full-Height Silhouette in the WH Infantry Line

What the release record establishes

The original listing identifies a standing firing rifleman. The saved photograph shows the rifle at the shoulder, the forward lean of the upper body and the field equipment carried behind.

The record does not attach a named soldier or battle to the figure. Its catalog identity is the specific pose within the WH range.

A figure in the wider history

The WH catalog overview gives the historical setting for the German army represented by these figures. A single firing pose is only one small part of that history, alongside command, transport, medical care and the consequences of the war.

That broader reading makes the collection more informative than a weapons-only arrangement.

Why a simple pose still deserves documentation

Common subjects are often the easiest to misidentify once boxes are lost. The standing stance, rifle position and equipment arrangement distinguish WH043 from other German riflemen made across several King & Country series.

Keep a clear profile photograph with the code. It preserves the details needed to recognize this particular sculpt in a mixed group or a secondhand listing.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived WH043 product record lists a release date of November 2015 and a retirement date of September 2020. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
