Okay, let's be lost together. Does it just say the word "Germany"? No crowns, squiggles, circles, etc? And can you post pics of the figurine, and the stamp?
Guessing, because it says Germany, that it is at least after 1891. And probably after 1920. Just guessing, based on markings used historically.
If you can't provide pics, you can conduct your own web searches, google is a good search engine, I usually use msn.com as it's my home page. Run your search as -- figurines porcelain germany -- see what comes up. Also a good web site I use is
www.kaleden.com. Select porcelain/pottery and narrow search to -- figurines germany -- .
For practical purposes, your piece is $50 upwards. Lets hope way up.
Best wishes, if I can be of further help, post back KB
