Dear Gerhard and Marko,
Thank you for your prompt replies.
I have looked at both websites and will ask my German neighbour, Heike, to translate the information about Eduard Scheibert.
I was surprised to discover that I have a large number of Scheibert figures in my collection: Scottish Highlanders and the 30 Years War figures. I bought them from a model shop in London in the 1970s . More surprisingly, I bought two Highlanders to complete the set from the Katzelsdorf stand at Kulmbach last year without realising they were Scheibert figures!
Thank you both once again. And Gerhard, if you would prefer, I will ask Heike to translate my reply into German.
Best wishes,
Peter
