I have a very odd nutcracker. It's solid hand carved wood. It's in the likeness of a man dressed in a red jacket and white pants, with black boots. Inside of its mouth it has 6 teeth, 3 on top and bottom. The figure also has a red flat hat on the right side of it's head. The hat has a strange inscriptioin on it.
While doing some investigation into the nutcracker, I found out that Nutcarackers were made in the likeness of certain people to kind of degrade them. I was also told by a collector that he thought it might be in the likeness of Hitler.
So now I am completely confused.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Nope, it's totally different. It doesn't have any hair on it, it's about a foot tall, and the teeth in it's mouth are little black nubs. I'll try to upload some photos.
Thanks though.

We will look forward to some images being posted! Are there any marks like letters or numbers on it that might help in the identification? If you could provide also a close-up of the inscription on it, that would help.
