So I found these in the bottom of a box and they have confused me as there 50mm
Only mark is RG in the corner , I don't think the couple should be there

The couple (54 mm) was cast from Georg Roessner' mould (RG), it is a figure of the set Incroyables and Muscadins after mode drawings by Debucourt for the period 1792 - 1815. Now it is released by Historia Mueller.
The same for the foot soldiers, apart this bearing red and white lace, figures (50 mm) of the set Gardes françaises of Louis the XIVth.
Unfortunately, I don't acknoledge the others figures.

The Rössner's figure exists in two versions. One engraved by Rössner the other by Rieger.

The Age of Lace figures are by the editor A. Ulrich Koch of Germany. He did many of this period including coaches and Poles and Turks. He wrote a number of articles for Zinnfiguren about his sources. His figures were very popular with the German artist Walter Fisher. He sold his molds many years ago. I saw some at Kulmbach in August at the stand of Zinnfiguren-fleesensee.de. A couple of other editors also worked in that scale.
I have a lot including one painted by Fisher.
