Hi Primož,
Could you tell us a bit more about the figure? What scale is it? And what material is it cast in?
Rudi
p.s. Marco... so after that diatribe about Primož's incorrect discription: do you or don't you know who the manufacturer is? Can you help us?

It's made from a resin and it's replica (someone made it from original) and I bought it for a 6 €.
And it's 54mm high. I get it in plastic mini bag with this low quality picture.

Hi
As you say, it is a replica - in other words a pirated/illegal copy
The 54mm original is by Andrea Miniatures S5-F39 German SS General (1942) .
The insignia, as seen via the above link, denote the officer to be a SS-Obergruppenfuhrer und General der Waffen-SS (loosely translated as a General-Colonel I think).

Hello Rudi,
so you have started to support plagiates by helping buyers of copies?
Interesting for the vendors reading such threads.
I am sure Andrea will be very happy when they see that you provide detailed pics to enable a succesful paint job of this copy.

Support the pirates? Wow, Marco, I didn't realise highlighting that this was an illegal copy of an Andrea figure was "supporting the pirates".
Thanks for setting me straight - how remiss of me...
Rudi
p.s. I'm a bit slow after only one cup of coffee this morning - but are you attempting to actually blackmail me?!?

No offence, Rudi.

It reminds me the style of sculptor Diego Fernández Fortes for his -now defunct- own brand Miniaturas La Compañía.
You can try asking in Historicus Forma, planetfigure.com, Timelinesforum.com or any other dedicated figure modelling site.

Marco, Im sure Rudi really was Encouraging pirates, and aiding them, damn, got to make sure thay have the correct box art....
Rudi wouldnt Condone Pirating, if someone has a figure, that they bought, maybe not knowing it was wrong, and a damage to the Parent compnay of the original figure, and dosent know how best to paint it, that advice shoud be shared.
And Marco, well done yourself, Helping Buyers of copies by presenting the correct insignia, shame on you. it would be a tradgety for the Andrea to hear of this misgiving.
To OP, please dont purchase copies, they hurt buisnesses and are usually made of a lower quality material, it feels good to pick up a figure, andrea, Wolf, Alpine, because you know that money is going the help produce great new figures. but in the end its your choice, but its also your concience.
