I was wondering if any members/readers had a copy of Franz Biebel's catalog? It is, I believe, a rare item. I have only the picture of the one page.

As far as I know, there was never a (picture) catalog from Biebel. The shown sheet was a rare exception from this rule.
There were some sheets of a typo catalogue which I attach to this e-mail. I´m not sure if there had been some more. Furthermore I have done an excel sheet including all information assembled on what I found in 30mm flats.
Best regards

Thanks Alexander....Here is my Biebel picture catalog. I know nearly all of the French figures went to Thiel and the Allied figures went to Neckel when Mr. Biebel sold his molds in 1936/7. Fortunately, Neckel kept Mr. Biebel's numbering. Thiel gave the figures his own numbers. I had to make a guess here or there. A few I left blank. The list on your web site was a great help to me.

Dear Alexander and tinman,
thank you very much for this wonderful piece of zinnfiguren history.
May I hope to have some information on Maiers both farther and son. Of course I have SIMA catalogue but I am interested in when and how this molds were created or purchased by Maier family.
thank you beforehand

Yes this eBay lot was interesting and I could´t help buying it. Some numbers I were in doubt before
And btw I forgot to upload my Biebel list which was done before the transfer from Neckel to Scholtz.
Niebel had even more as some 30-years figures which are today at Fechner available. And very beautiful 20mm figures of Napoleonic era, some identical to the 30mm, some different and all engraved by Frank as well.
