Hi Sandor,


The figure was originally edited by Western Miniatures. The designer was Martin Block and the engraver was Gerhard Sollner.

Hello Sandor,
This figure is  available from Dr. Dau
https://www.zinnfiguren-fleesensee.de/Testkategorie/ritter-und-landsknechte-rl1-6/

I once was told that it is part of  a set called "Retreat from Marignano" drawn by Martin Block. But I don't know more about it. The figures clearly wearing the clothing of swiss Reisläufer of the time around 1515

Good morning Friends!
For my Bugundian wars collection I have just recently bought this small group on eBay.
The title of the auction was "Schweizer Fußknechte, um 1500, bergen ihren toten Hauptmann".
I find the oil paintwork good mediocre (rather good in a style of painting), so I decided to keep it, not to strip-and-repaint.
The scene is quite interesting for me and it fits excellently of the Burgundian wars-topic.
I would appreciate any further information about it - maybe it is one of a series and other figures of the set could also be interesting for me.
On the plinth it says WM 1 - nothing more.





Thank you-
Sandor

I see what you mean by your previous statement that 2 archers were enough per man at arms when it was written as 3.  Very good painting
