Thank you all for the helpful information, as usual all answers are here!

I also heard from Neckel, their figures of Aztecs are still available and just purchased the Gottstein Aztecs - now Leipzig Collectors Society produced - and a nice set of Mayan soldiers from Behring via Berliner Zinnfiguren. 
Expect some articles in the Journal!

This is a colorful and fascinating period of history I have not payed much attention to but, flat editors have.  There is a nice selection of the warriors and peoples of the period.

Thanks again all.

Dear Mark,
If my German is correct Leonie Borgmann is the grand-daiughter of Tilo and Liselotte Maier.  Unfortunately, I can't remember if Tilo is the brother of Sixtus Maier or his son.  However, I have bought Maier figures from Leonie at Kulmbach and through the post via  zinnfiguren.maier@web.de

Leonie speaks English perfectly and the family are very kind and helpful.


Best wishes,
Peter oo~

Hi Marko,

Some figures are really pieces of flat history!

Thank you for the information, I will try writing her.  I do have a few Maier figures now and I agree they are wonderful engravings and look forward to seeing the figures in person.

The last email address I have is: zinnfiguren.maier@web.de


Sent Leonie an email. It may take her a few months to process your order, but it is worth the wait. The "Loy" figures are the finest.

The new owner is Leonie Anderer, Aurachtal, A relative, perhaps, as there is a Dr. Anderer with the same adress as Maier formerly (Steinstr. 8, 91096 Aurachtal, according to phone-book. No e-mail given).
They were at Kulmbach in 2019, the mould are still kept together obviously.

Curious to know if anyone knows who currently owns the Maier 30mm catalog and how they are ordered?  I am particularly interested in three areas:


Incas:

Mario Benini shows a wonderful rendition of these figures on his site:

Aztecs:

As Mike Taylor illustrated they are beautiful figures:

And in a departure some Medieval Jousting tourneys with spectators:

I have the bulk of the jousting figures but, have always wanted to add spectators.


Thank you in advance for any assistance.
