The T79 Military set is a (100) card set picturing military men from all over the world in their dress uniforms. The cards can be found with Fez, Tolstoi or Lenox backs--the latter of which being the toughest back to find. The cards picture soldiers from (17) different countries. Six countries have (10) subjects each including the United States, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Russia and Spain. Two countries have but a single representative--Servia and Montenegro. Both enlisted and officers are included for many of the countries, so a good feel for what the uniforms of the looked like can be ascertained from looking at the cards.
This lot is for a single card from the T79 Military Series set picturing the subject German Colonial Trooper with the very difficult back type from Old Mill Tobacco. This card is in about VG condition with just some normal chipping on the borders and a very light crease in the lower border. The back is very clean and overall this is a great example of one of the very tough back types from the series.
