Anyone know how to date an old toy lead sailor?  This was a detecting find from a few months ago.  I am surprised the gun barrel has not snapped off although his arm is at an odd angle now.  I am guessing maybe Victorian.  What do you think?  The overall height is 60mm.

I presume the gun would have been on his shoulder, Dave wise not sure Howard would guess round about 1900 going by his uniform.

That's pretty nice man considering it's mostly in one piece
