Hello Gerald,
the figures edited by Maier in Herzogenaurach.

Hello Christoph,
similar figures, but not these, because I got the mould from France ;)

Dear Gerald,
I remember having read somewhere about a set of "Amazonen" i.e female riders being edited by Christian Gerard and Petrochocino (Armont) by the end of the 30ies.
I will check the old French Collectors Magazine when back from holidays.
Best regards
Alexander

First of all I would say the figures are based on the 19th century one of the ladies is ridding side saddle. :o They other one I cant make it out. Didn't they make a fox hunt group ???
