Found this toy soldier, can anyone help identify the vintage? Looks like a metal infantry man from WW2.

I don't know why, but I get the impression that this is a German soldier- WWII - thats just my opinion.
Maybe it is the helmet, looks German....
Thanks for all comments, could be German solder because a number of Germans used to live in this area before my time.
He looks more WW I to me. The ties on the legs, the panshaped helmet...maybe canadian?
or even an american marine?

It appears to be from a home foundry home casting kit due to the flat base and lack of shape
