Woods relics

Ah the simpler times where we played with our army men in the woods and live rounds were dropped at our feet lol.
I found this lead soldier today, I am thinking Barclay, and these rounds.
One is a .38. REM-UMC 38 WCF. Can I get an age? The lead is white.
Also, what kind of round is the smaller one? Old?

I searched Google and found this. I am sure a member will pipe in shortly with better date spread...

GUN AUCTION: Rem-UMC .38 Wcf (6)(SOLD: $6.50)
"...These are the black powder, copper primer style
from the turn of the century (19th to 20th)..."

Remington and UMC merged in 1912 so it's not older than that. WCF stands for Winchester Center Fire. Gary

Nice soldier. Looks like a Barclay.. you can probably find the exact one with a quick search as there are some sites with many examples of them. One has to wonder where all the legs went!

Probably blown off by the live rounds dropped back in the day
