Prussia circa 1716 (Rotes Leibbataillon Grenadier-) Giant Guard. These were the famous "Long Guys" of the Soldier-King Frederick William I. The proverbial thrifty monarch spared no expense when it came to procuring great men as recruits for this troop he loved from all over Europe. Excellently painted. Rare opportunity!
