I really don't now. It is not often playmobil produce an item that may be linked to one exact country.

But the flower on the klicky I believe is known as the French lily, so it might very well be that he is French  :)

 Hi Panos,

It is possible the heraldry on the shields has been taken from a famous house. In the set 3482 city mercenaries you got 2 different lots of stickers both are said to be very similar or the same as actual heraldry of the time. The red lot with the black eagle has a connection with Nuremberg and the Golden Lion is possibly Bavarian

And the lion on this ship I believe is Finnish:

Based on the Finnish order of the Lion:

and the Finnish coat of arms:
