I'm a past member of the BFFS. Reading the new site it appears that there have been some changes in the world of flats.
Where would I be able to get some of the war elephants superbly engraved by Ludwig Frank? I believe Paul Krog used to sell them.
I'm particularily interested in the one painted by Mr. DiFranco.
I also have a large selection of flats ( mostly Napoleonic)that I know I will not have time to paint so would like to sell them here on the site. How do I do that?
Thanks for your help.

Hi John.
The Krog elephants are classics but, now quite hard to find as he has passed and his family closed the business. However, rumor has it many of the moulds were sold and they may again be available. I do see some of them on E Bay once in a while.
As far as selling I would suggest placing some pictures on the Sale/Trade/Wants section of this site and seeing if you have any takers. Napoleonics are always popular but, we all have more figures than we can finish. Lovely problem of the hobby.
Good luck on both your problems.

If ... one should talk about "classics" it would be appropriate to refer to them as "Gottsteins figures".

no matter if classic or not. There are very beautiful engravings.
The forms have some life stages not only accompanied Gottschtein and Krog.
The shapes are back in their home!
At the time they are geortnet and reperiert. The Association of Leipzig they Sammlerfeunde-ZFL asks to refrain from large orders.
Most of the figures are in only one form, that a man or riding in a mold. This will incur for the commissioner person (Wolfgang Friedrich) a lot of work.
The old catalog numbers will continue to have validity.
Here you will find a new Anspechparner for Gottstein characters.

I hope that I have brought you hope for 2014!

(They are in the links as Leipzig Flat Collectors Society)
We were told around the last Kulmbach that this group has purchased many of the Gottstein moulds so this appears to be some early results.

Hi Mark,
I sent an email to the address that you provided, but it bounced back, undelivered.
Also went to the web site but could not ascertain where on the site they sold figures or if they had the Greigs elefantens.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks again,
John

There is a cartaginian war elephant for sale on ebay de; see link
It is painted but you could clean it
Maybe you could bid a reasonable price

Thanks Eric,
I actually just got one from Ebay. It is quite nice, unpainted and I think it is engraved by Sixtus Maier. Now I need to find a few "attackers" Maybe some Romans? Anyone have thoughts on where I might find some of those? I am not too familiar with which editor has what figures. I'm just starting to go through the links list. Very helpful.
Thanks agin,
John

Do you have the Gottstein catalogue ?
If not send me your email address an I will send you a copy of the elepants page
My email : talmanteric@gmail.com

Congratulations on your find, Gottstein's Elephants don't show up much any more. You might try Gerald Nadebor for Romans as I believe they specialize in that era.

Thanks for all the help and advice fellas.
Eric I think I have the Gottstein elephant pages. There are a few more on Ebay today, but will probably fetch a high price.
Thanks for the link Mark. I will contact them for more illustrations of their figures. The site doesn't appear to have them. (unless I'm not clever enough to find them!)
It's good to be back. Thanks!
John
