Title: Where to find foot Curiassiers
Post by: CONROTTO on April 13, 2015, 06:49:25 AM

Hallo Friends
does someone have an idea where can I find and buy foot Curiassiers as the one in the figures ?

Many thanks for your kind support.

@Franco,

this is quite a "hard nut": Your display mixes different editors:

- bottom left in horseback is available at Reisberg  http://www.zinnfiguren-reisberg.de/

- perhaps bottom middle (on foot) is part of the Frauendorf range from Wuensch
http://www.zinnfiguren-wuensch.de/album2neu_004.htm

It would be of use to see the shape of bases and (if readable), what is written there.

Regards
Joerg

Hello Franco,

there is a nice Frank engraved set edited by Scheibert. Look at www.zinnfigurenwelt-katzelsdorf.at .
There are drawings as PDF-file. You have to send your order by e-mail.

Best regards

Michael

Dear Conrotto,


Michael and Jörg are right, but the editors of these figures are starting from top line left to right :


Scheibert, Scheibert, Tylinski, Frauendorf,


Reisberg, Scheibert, Tylinski (?), Thiel, Frauendorf,


you will find a painted Scheibert set here at my site : [size=78%]http://www.flats-zinnfiguren.com/Sennebo/sennebogallery.html (http://www.flats-zinnfiguren.com/Sennebo/sennebogallery.html)[/size]


the biggest set of cuirassiers on foot is hard to obtain as they (former Thiel moulds) are mostly in the possession of Mr. Knoll (Kn) :

see from No. 950 to 963


Best regards

The Scheibert set is available from Zinnfiguren Katzelsdorf or Berliner Zinnfiguren.  Both have websites to review.  The Scheibert figures in general appear to be beautifully designed and engraved.
