Try XOOM. They're now owned by Paypal. They charge $5 for bank to bank transfer under $1000. Also they clip around 3% on the exchange.

I want to thank you all for your help locating these sets. I have found another source for Zinnfiguren with the help of all of you. Martin Andra gave me the link to contact Frank Lipfert.
http://www.zinnfigurenfreunde-leipzig.de/her/fl.htm


He has the Lithuanian Tatars plus the Staff Guard of Krakus and Poniatoski and entourage! He will also send a catalog of his other castings so I can see what other goodies he has.
One last problem, payment, he does not accept Paypal or credit card and bank transfer fees in the USA start at around $50 and up! :o
Is there a member in the European community that I can send the funds thru paypal so they can pay Frank by transfer?
I would appreciate your help,
Thank you,
Ray


P.S. as a note I looked at these 3 sets thru Berliner zinnfiguren, double the price for each set 30 euro shipping vs. 6 euro from Frank

Thank you Alexander and Eric, I never thought to look under French forces for the Lithuanians on Berliner,  I thought it would have been more under Polish?
I will try to contact Andra.

Dear Ray,

as far as I know the only "true" set of Lithuanian Tartars is from Andrä but not available from their website

http://www.zinnfiguren-andrae.de/ShopNeu/index.php?&vmcchk=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

The figures are at least available from Scholtz (maybe the moulds have been sold to them)


https://www.zinnfigur.com/Flachfiguren/Unbemalt/Militaergeschichte/1789-1815/Frankreich/Serien-allgemein/Litauische-Tataren-der-Kaisergarde.html

The shown set is from Ochel but these are "originally" the Elite Company of Polish Uhlans and are not 100% matching the uniform of Lithuanian Tartars.

Best regards
Alexander

Accoprding to the box it seems to be an Ochel Kieler set
Maybe still available from Erika Ochel ?
