I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know who is selling any of the Gottstein "Battle of Murten" figures? I think I read that the molds are , ..... somewhere, or gone AWOL, or ?
I have seen some lovely figures of the "Battle of Crecy", but the Gottstein figures are quite wonderful.
If anyone can put me in the right direction, it would be super.
Hope everyone is well and healthy.
Here in Canada we are doing very well combatting this world-wide insane virus. Please stay healthy and safe.
It is very easy to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
Thanks,

Hi John,
search on e-bay or attend flat figure shows to find some Murten figures. Auction of Mr. Mrosk is another possibility to find them. The molds are in Zurich historical Museum and they are not planning to do some castings.
Best wishes.

I've been looking for those figures for two years, but to no avail ...... it's very very difficult. We must hope for some auctions on ebay ...... :( :( :(

Yes, it is difficult to collect the Gottstein's Murten figures.
However there are other very nice figures available for the Burgundian era, e.g. the Neckel's Z26-50.
You can find more information about it on the page http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=4609.msg29036#msg29036

Thanks everyone for the all the help.
I thought that it would be difficult to find his figures.
If anyone (...hint, hint ;-).... ) has a PDF of the Neckel catalogue, my email address is
jhoffmann00@cogeco.ca

Stay healthy everyone.
PLEASE WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO OUT
Thanks again,

Hello,
Sandor is absolutly right, it´s difficult and expensive to get these figures.
But beside the Neckel figures there are the figures of Ulrich Lehnart. He offers very nice Burgundians as well. Have a look here:

I have these Blum Mürten figures spare, there are 27 castings here all marked EB on the base. Engraver SM.
If anyone wants them, then £30 plus postage to wherever you are will secure them.
I also have a lot of other Burgundians, mounted and foot, from Gottstein (many L Frk engravings) plus Thieme, KZ and Neckel. Please PM me if you are interested in having a look.

These are my mixed Burgundian foot figures. 50 figures I think. The eagle-eyed amongst you will spot the various editors and engravers. Anybody interested in this lot please PM me.
