An Adolf Hitler action figure with an adjustable saluting arm has been sold at an auction for almost 6000 pounds.

The figure came with an adjustable right arm for Sieg Heil salutes, the Mirror reported.

The rare models - including one of Eva Braun, a set of Nazi paramilitaries and a wooden HQ - were produced from 1935 to 1944.

The figures were made out of sawdust and plaster but were delicate and few have survived.

The Hitler collection sold for 5,801 pounds at Aston's in Dudley, West Midlands, while the HQ set went for 1,202 pounds at Vectis Auctions, Stockton-on-Tees, Co Durham.
