I can't believe these guys were able to ID those figures!

This is representative of one of the things I love about the world of flats.


Who needs to pore through catalogs or the ability to perform vast searches of data when between Alexander and Eric we have someone who is able to identify most of the flats ever engraved...


We need to start a stump the panel section to see if we can find something unidentifiable...

P.S. Though I confess to having used their services as well.  Always nice to know who you are painting.

Dear Bob,


no problem, I was too lazy to check when I had a look at that auction but now…


so here is the original group and it is a conversion not just differently painted to my opinion

Dear Alexander


Thanks for your reply, I thought that there was some Heinrichsen in the mix but simply bought them because I thought that they were unusual, and most important I liked them.
You may have seen that their was a second grouping also on E bay, which I bought to bulk up the first.
 I guess that these will prove to be from various makers, perhaps a mix of  figures etc. and perhaps in its own way unique.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated
Kindest regards
Bob

Dear Bob,


I was too fast :

from the set : first figure at top is Mignot, second and other similar probably from the Heinrichsen Guard Artillery set, then in between a Thiel line chasseur in overcoat,

second row : horse (don´t know),  then  Heinrichsen Guard Artillery, Scholtz Retreat conversion, Thiel (hat), Heinrichsen hussar conversion, Heinrichsen staff

Best regards

Alexander

Dear Bob,


yes I saw this lot at ebay which is a bit puzzling.


I believe these are mostly Heinrichsen conversion or just differently painted flats as some are meant to be 7-years-war hussars as it is for the guy taking the beer from the cantiniere who was meant to be a 1756 prusssian hussar originally.


Best regards

Hello
I recently bought the figures shown on the attachments.
Can anyone identify the Maker, Editor, Designer, Engraver or offer any information.
I have been collecting for many years and cannot remember seeing these figures before.
No identifying marks just small triangular supports.
Any information appreciated
Many  Thanks
Bob
