Title: Heinrichsen ID help please
Post by: jimrjim on February 03, 2025, 06:52:15 PM

I am not at all confident the box matches the figures. I cannot fully decipher the box beyond Ulans (Uhlans) and "Lancers turcs". The lance pennons are more grey & green than the white & green in the photo. (thank you iPhone for the overcompensation) If somebody can offer the true identity it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On the box:

Türk.[ische]-Leibgarde Ulan[en] - Lanciers turco.
Turkish Lifeguard-Uhlans.
19th century is not my field, so I can't tell if the figures/uniforms fit the box. Knötel: From 1890 Guard-Uhlans in dark blue with red facings. Tanzimat comes in mind.

On second thoughts, they might even be early 20th century.
