    Nice find. You will have to see if there is any makers mark, or look up mold manufacturers. I did the same thing for a buffalo I found and did find the info on it. Good luck.

    Are you sure it is lead? Star Wars was in the 70s, not many lead toys in that era

    That looks like a "Barclay" lead toy soldier, I think they made them during the 30's and 40's but don't know for sure. It's hard finding one of those intact, usually they're broke somewhere.
