Thank you for the help! In the item description the seller states that...
"As best as I can determine, the figurine was produced by MEISSEN between 1924 and 1934. On the bottom of the base you will find the famous MEISSEN crossed swords. Also, the number 688 is incised above the swords, as pictured below. As for recent history, I purchased this item in Berlin, from an elderly East German couple, months after the wall fell in 1989."
I will link some pictures of the item below. I really like this figurine, I'm just concerned about the fact that the marking was about 100years before his time.
