More Miltra bits? - German Paratrooper and rifles

As I mentioned in an earlier blog I found a mould at Jack's which was marked German Paratrooper.  I finally got back to Jack's to get him to run a couple of figures to see what they looked liked and to get your view on whether this in fact a Miltra figure.




The figure comes with open hands and no weapon.  Whilst Jack was casting this and some other bits I had a further rummage around and found a mould marked German rifle. This is definitely not a Jacklex rifle but again I know next to nothing about Miltra and the weapons that were made available with the figures so don't know if it is connected with the range.  Not a bad casting given the age of the mould.

Unfortunately Jack's can't remember.  The rifle straps didn't quite come out quite right but this was just the first try and there is a little flash on the rifle bolt which makes it look like a flintlock in the picture (it isn't). Any thoughts?


I also found a couple of other figures lurking in the bottom of the 'to melt box' which I have rescued and put to one side.  Again I think these are lost Miltra figures.


So I now have a bag of odds and sods of figures and 2 moulds (assuming they are Miltra).  I will keep looking and posting.
