Enemy at the Gates - German Sniper

I am a huge fan of the movie Enemy at the Gates, one of the best movies about war, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, starring Jude Law, Joseph Fiennes and Ed Harris set during the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II.
The figure is inspirited in the Major Erwin König, the renowned marksman, and head of the German Army Sniper School at Zossen. The rifle is a Mauser Standardmodell (often abbreviated Kar98k) with telescopic sight, and a controlled-feed real bolt-action.
He is wearing a German Wehrmacht uniform with all the accessories, an iron cross included.
