Title: 1870 French General Staff - Frauendorf
Post by: marko on August 09, 2016, 09:30:49 PM

This is another very nice Frauendorf set that I purchased from Ebay Germany with assistance from Eric Talmant - thank you again.

I would be very curious if anyone has any detail on who is represented.  Number wise there is a bit of a mix and I am assuming these fellows have either been renumbered and split or they were assembled in pieces.  (A Droste figures not pictured is also included as an example.)  Regardless a nice set of advesarys to my Prussians.

Hi Mark,
first figure is from artillery set by Ochel, last figure represents hussar NCO with Army staff flag. If you can write numbers engraved on the stands I can attribute the rest .

Thanks so much.  They are top row left to right:


1,  ZK1,  ZK1, FStar 12,  35, F 37


Second row:


F 34, FIA, F 38, FIA, Tu 11, 4


and the Droste figure is DL 1/38 HH - I assume Davie Lepeltier engraver anyway.


Any insight would be great.

Hi Mark,

FIA - Napoleon III
Tu 11 - mounted officer of Zuavs


The rest is a mystery. There are no such numbers in a book-catalogue of Frauendorf's figures published in 2011. Maybe our German collectors will be able to help us.
