Friends,I would need help to find out the Editor / Graveur of the below figures.
The marks are read as MB  and L Frk.
The figures are of 30 years war period.
Thank you.

I can give you 1/2 of your puzzle.  L Frk is the engraver and is the mark of Ludwig Frank.


mark  8)

MB is the mark for Marin Block. (or should be)
He made the drawings (for instance) of the Polish figures of Offizin Oldhafer.
Catalog on the Website.

Sorry, I think I was on the wrong track.
On Mr. Bistulfis Webpage www.zinnfiguren-bistulfi.com
you can download a list with Images of bases of several Editors.
The base for Müller there has a simple M. (or maybe a W?)
But the form of the base is the same. And Müller edited many figures for 30 years war.
And the engraver for the 30 years war figures was Ludwig Frank.
I am interested whats the B for. The Editors Name was - i think - Hans Müller from Erfurt.
Greetings
Gerhard

Are you all sure about this? It's well known that MB means 'more beer' or 'mehr Bier'

I 'd rather prefer rotwein - it is written as RW.
I is partly also fine since W upside down is M - but I am in trouble with the reverse R ...  ;D

Hello,

Mueller figures market with MB are a part of the 30years staff, formerly from Franz Biebel.
Richard Wuensch was also a privat engraver. The RW marking shows he re-engraved or repaired these muld or one part of these muld.
