Hello all
They are in the catalog
Look at  https://www.schmalkalder-zinnfiguren.de
Reformation

Typen des 30jährigen Krieges   I think there they have the original Neckel Numbers

Hello,

the figures were original edited by Neckel and sold on to Mr. Fechner who sold the moulds recently to Frank Dittmar in Schmalkalden.

I don´t know if the figures belonged original together as a set. The Fechner number SHA 230/... only mentioned the number of the catalog page.

The engravers are as far as I know from left to right:

Mohr / ? / Ludwig Frank / Ludwig Frank / Ludwig Frank

Same for me, bought also the serie from EBay.de. to paint early next year.....

They come from Fechner, serie SHA 230/... but seemingly no longer available; engraving ? Sixtus Meier? (to be read on the base)
They arrived at home, but I am in a foreign country ...

I have recently received a small group, that represents the death of Gustavus Adolphus.
Unfortunately I have no information neither about the engraver, nor about the editor - but the figures are  amazingly engraved and molded.
Each figure is very detailed and clearly done.
They are simply beautiful - real masterworks!
Does anybody know these figures and can give some further information about them?
Thank you-
Sandor
