Good new!
Guillaume Brétegnier announces he will progressively release sets from his grand-father moulds, among them many nice ones such as Joan of Arc, Louis XIV staff, and a lot of figures for the XVIII° century, the second french empire and WW I
He will also issue some of the Boverat figures which moulds have been kept by some collectors

Sir Eric,
This is very pleasant news. I still would love to get the Bretegnier version of Louis XIV's staff. Up until earlier this year I was not aware there are at times multiple engravings of the same designs as in this case - Bretegnier and Gottstein as well as a few partial renditions of several of the figures all done form the same drawings.
In this case there is also a large detail difference depending on engraver.
Anyway, exciting news.
I am also noticing a large number of pristine Gottstein sets showing up on Ebay of late as well as Mignot recently. I am wondering if Leipzig collectors are producing a few more - just missed Gottsteins Valois today which went for a tidy sum. Nice trend for Christmas.
