German Porcelain Figurines

I have two porcelain figurines that my parents acquired in post-war Germany in the early forties. Pictures are attached. I am 70 years old now and have been in possession of these pieces all my life. They appear to be well made with nice detail. Under magnification, the details look hand painted. I’m sure there are gold details as well. The two figures are six and a half inches tall and are in excellent condition,,,no cracks, chips, etc. There are scant markings on the base. Just the number 2456, as though it were a model number. Just to the right of the number on the male figure is an indention that looks like it could be a marking, but it’s too faint for me to make out. On the side, inside the base is this other marking (picture #5). If additional images are needed please let me know.

Any help you could provide in identifying these figurines would be appreciated along with a value if that can be determined.
