General Discussion / Krog catalogue
« Last post by JerryMort on March 12, 2024, 08:57:34 AM »
I am trying to cut down the amount of paper cluttering up the place by scanning in some old catalogues. I have just scanned the Krog/Gottstein catalogue. Does anyone want the paper copy?

Hi Roy, sorry for the delay, unfortunately all the Robin Hood figures are gone- as Vladimir has the molds, I’m not sure when we will get any more.

Hi Sandor,


The figure was originally edited by Western Miniatures. The designer was Martin Block and the engraver was Gerhard Sollner.

Hello Sandor,
This figure is  available from Dr. Dau
https://www.zinnfiguren-fleesensee.de/Testkategorie/ritter-und-landsknechte-rl1-6/

I once was told that it is part of  a set called "Retreat from Marignano" drawn by Martin Block. But I don't know more about it. The figures clearly wearing the clothing of swiss Reisläufer of the time around 1515

Good morning Friends!
For my Bugundian wars collection I have just recently bought this small group on eBay.
The title of the auction was "Schweizer Fußknechte, um 1500, bergen ihren toten Hauptmann".
I find the oil paintwork good mediocre (rather good in a style of painting), so I decided to keep it, not to strip-and-repaint.
The scene is quite interesting for me and it fits excellently of the Burgundian wars-topic.
I would appreciate any further information about it - maybe it is one of a series and other figures of the set could also be interesting for me.
On the plinth it says WM 1 - nothing more.





Thank you-
Sandor

I see what you mean by your previous statement that 2 archers were enough per man at arms when it was written as 3.  Very good painting
