Hello Claudio,


I only know Mr. Lehmann from Freiburg. He founded the "Zinnfigurenklause" at the Schwabentor in Freiburg. He hab a figure of Götz in his catalog. Mr. Lehman died some years ago. A part of the moulds (including Götz) were still at Freiburg and available from the Zinnfigurenklause and some were sold to Scholtz, Berlin.
If you can post a picture of the figures this would help.

Okay, that are not the Lehmann figures.
I think I bought some of them second hand in Kulmbach some years ago (not Götz) but never seen the whole set.
Interesting.
