The American Civil War (4/12/1861-5/26/1865) was a civil war in the United States.It was fought between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), the latter formed by states that had seceded. The central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction. O&M Hausser was a German company founded by Christian Hausser and his sons Otto and Max Hausser in 1904.
In 1939, Hausser started experimenting with plastic and in 1955, the first polysterol plastic miniatures (1:25) were made. Elastolin composition figures were manufactured in 40mm, 65mm, 70mm, and 105mm scales. Will be packed very well - read our feedback! PLEASE SHARE OUR STORE WITH EVERYBODY YOU KNOW!
