Title: Some Swiss lancers from the battle of Murten
Post by: snagy on June 11, 2016, 12:04:52 PM

A few warriors of the Confederate troops.
Maybe of Gottstein?

It includes some painted examples.

I would say they are from the Glorious Empires range
But they fit well with Gottstein figures because they have been engraved from drawings from the Gottstein collection

I do Believe you will fond them in Neckel´s cataloge and then they are produced by Raul Gerard.

As usual Jan gives the right answer
I should have looked at my old Neckel catalogue

I recently picked up this group of Swiss pikeman, not sure the timeline is exactly correct?

Those are painted beautifully.  By the way I have about 200 I purchased from Herr Neckel back in the 1970s that I am painting.  I'm wondering where I can purchase more.  I understand that his son, Rolf, may be able to supply them.  Is that true?

Yes the Neckels are still in business and producing great figures.  They are in the links and respond to email and take PayPal.
