Hallo,
they are not edited by Mignot (look at the book of Krannich/Vullinghs or the catalogue of Mignot, available at
Berliner Zinnfiguren; 19,95 €).
I found them in the book Miniaturen Part IV , edited by Krannich, page 15.
They are designed by Rousselot, engraved by Sambeth and Maier 1931; edited by Kieler Zinnfigurenfabrik/Ochel;
look at the (in-)complete Ochel list at the Ochel hompage.
Several years Ochel sold Mignot-figures, too.

Best regards

Michael

Outstanding painting! Love the horses. The era is not my area of expertise (few things are), but what nationality are they? Were blue wagons and gun carriages a regimental or an overall army color?

Hallo Glen,

the tross is designed as artillery and tross Louis XIV. ; in the Ochel list they are in the part 7-years-war (1756-1763);
french artillery. I think you can use the tross with the new figures of french artllery Louis XIV. edited by Glorious Empires.
The soldiers are 7-years-war uniforms.

Best regards

Michael
