Looks like others listed !! I would bet its painted spelter rather than bronze !! Has darker areas in the creases and to me that would mean painted and highlighted !!

Thanks Mart.

I know at least it is very old. But, doesn't necessarily mean its of any great value

That's correct !!  Not many of these figures have value greater than what this one is listed at !! To me this one is a bit overpriced especially if it is not bronze and I do not think it is !! Pictures can be deceiving but sure doesn`t look like it !!
