Because I was asked about it:

the price for the set as far as engraved (without the 5 Figures without Numbers) is  € 30,50 + shipping.

Shipping to the UK will be € 4,29 - without tracking and insurance                    or € 7,02 with tracking and an insurance

Cheapest shipment for a few single figures is  € 3,71    -   

If you wish only single figures from this set or the Gordon set or anything twice it is not a problem, please let me know.
   

Paypal is possible

Thank you all for the friendly comments!
@Alexander
 Bernd Graf is busy until now,  he has done a series for the kulmbach fair 2019, and figuresfor some private editors like me. It is always a pleasure to talk with him about our hobby (and other things too).

Dear Erich,


my congratulations for this nice and large set ! This is a well known event still missing in flats. With the Ochel Figures (L.Frank) you can even represent the Zulu wars.


And you commissioned Bernd Graf for engraving ? So he started again ? I really like his style but I thought he stopped engraving 25-30 years ago.

It would be nice to send a few to anyone interested in, because all the money I can collect will go in my third sudan project,the "21st Lancers at Omdurman", which will (hopefully) be released next year.  Left under my name you can see a very smalldrawing of one of these guys. So I will have 2 series (Gordon and Abu Klea) for the early mahdist time and one (Omdurman)for the last year. Most of the Mahdists can be used for the early or late time and combined in the other series.

Abu Klea Engravers
8 Figures (G 12 - G 19) are from D. Lepeltier, all the others engraved are done by B. Graf. B. Graf will also engrave the last 5 figures.

In the ballroom at Blair Atholl Castle in Scotland, there is a collection of weapons, flags and costumes captured at Omdurman.

Not shown here before as I wanted to wait  for the complete set is engraved - but it seems it take a little longer for the last 5 figures
Because I have posted the first painted figure so I have thought to show the pictures of the complete set
