A varied group of ten Lineol and RK military band figures features dual flag bearers, brass and percussion musicians, and a detailed timpani setup. One standard bearer carries a white-field Wehrmacht Infantry Battalion Standard, while a second holds a red Reichskriegsflagge. The group also includes a fifer or flautist, a tuba player, an officer with binoculars and a sword, a trombone player with an extended slide horn, a band leader holding a conductor’s baton behind a sheet music stand opened to the "Badenweiler Marsch, " a marching bass drummer, a glockenspiel lyre player, and a stationary timpanist striking a pair of red-trimmed kettle drums. The conductor’s arm raises but does not stay up. Normal light wear from age and handling is present. The figures measure approximately 7 cm to 7.5 cm H from the base to the top of the head.
