French Army - Marcel Vagné No.538

Hello,

today I'm showing you another sheet by Marcel Vagné. 

This one is number 538 and belongs to a series dedicated to the various armies (or rulers) of Europe. A key feature is that each figure represents a different branch of the armed forces or a different uniform of a unit. Some of the armies depicted correspond to the period in which these prints were published, while others reference historical uniforms. Having already shown the sheets with the armies of Italy, Austria, and Germany, this one represents the French army.

Best regards,

Andreas

J.F.Schreiber R.610/12 (Mini) - Schwerer Minenwerfer

Hello,

today I'm showing you another JFS mini-sheet, or rather, a tiny section of one, as only one figure has survived. 

Fortunately, the printed number of the sheet has also been preserved. It's number R.610/12. A whole series of sheets were released under the number 610, all dealing with the German military of the 1930s, so I suspect the "R." could simply stand for "Reichswehr". Furthermore, this mini-sheet doesn't have an additional Roman numeral – which would fit my theory, as there were no sheets with larger figures of this motif, as far as I know.

Best regards, 

Andreas

El Ejercito Espanol en Parade - Barreira Militaria - No.2 Tiradores de Ifni-Sahara

Hello,

today I'm showing you another plate (No.2 Tiradores de Ifni-Sahara) from the series drawn by Bueno. Furthermore, I will provide the pictures from the first paper folder (front- and backside), which I forgot to include when presenting the first sheet.

Best regards,

Andreas

Artilleurs á pied - Silbermann No.11

Hello,

Today I'm showing you a small group of Silbermann artillerymen from sheet number 11. They come from the first series of the 8 cm tall figures and were first produced between 1845 and 1853.

Only these 11 figures have survived and found their way into my small collection. They are in remarkably good condition, and the paint is still vibrant.

Best regards,

Andreas

Wehrmacht Kavallerie, RAPI S110

Hello,

today I'm showing you a printed sheet from Rauert & Pittius in Sorau, better known as "RAPI". 

The sheet depicts Wehrmacht cavalry and bears the number 110. 

It appears to be the exact same sheet pictured on page 111 of Rafael De Francisco López's book "Paper Empires"—at least the discoloration along the edges suggests as much.

Best regards,

Andreas

Best regards,

Andreas
