Title: TYW knight - who is he?
Post by: snagy on August 01, 2023, 01:54:54 PM

I recently saw this TYW figure - and I found it beautiful.
Can anybody identify the figure: who is he and who is the maker?
Thank you!

the picture size is very small to read details
What are ALL indications engraved in positive on the base?

Hello,
sorry, no idea.
I think I have this figure somewhere in my boxes as well but never saw it in any cataloge.
When I look to the figure it seems to me, espacially the engraving of the boot and the horses neck and head, like a Ludwig Frank work. But I may be wrong.

The figure is engraved by Rössner. It is included in Wentzel's catalog from 1957-58.

sorry, i put the picture just to confirm it belongs to Rossner. It's not one of my best flats; old job.   ;)
