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

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 (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

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.

Hello
Better try Mr. Lipfert

He seems to be the owner of the molds

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.

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

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.

Thank you Tinman! this resolves a lot of my problems purchasing Zinnfiguren from smaller operations.
Sincerely,
Ray
