Title: Oldhafer figures -Samurai/Ashigaru
Post by: Franz-Michael on February 01, 2024, 06:09:08 AM
Dear all,


Does someone know how to get figures - Samurai /Ashigaru from the former offizin Oldhafer ?
After the death of Mr. Oldhafer the molds went to Mr. Tritschler but he didn't react to e-mails or
when I placed an order.
I know that he is a doctor and has maybe time constriants to react maybe he stopped the production
of the figures ?
Best regards
Michael

Hello Michael,
that is a sad tale I can tell you from my own experience as well I heard from many other people.
It's nearly impossible to get some Oldhafer figures or some of his own figures from Mr. Tritschler.
He was in Kulmbach in 2022 so may be Kulmbach be a chance to get in contact with him.

To be honest, I think the hobby of flat figures ist dying and will be ended for good in a few years.
Most of the editors are in very old age now and so are the collectors.
