Abadie - Italian Soldiers Abyssinian War

Hello,

Today I'm showing you some loose figures from the Abadie series about the Abyssinian War. As far as I can tell, this series, with a total of 15 numbered soldier picture sheets (Soldatenbilderbögen), was published in 1937 and featured both Abyssinian and Italian troops. So far, I've only managed to find a few individual Italian figures for my collection.



The figures shown cannot be assigned to a specific number, as they all appeared multiple times.

The Italian officer was found on picture sheets number 9, 12 and 14.

The shooting soldier was found on picture sheets no. 9 and 15.

The Askari was printed on picture sheets no. 11 and 12.

The hand grenade launcher was found on picture sheets no. 10 and 13.

And the storming soldier appeared on picture sheets numbers 9, 12, and 14.

The figures in this series are slightly larger than the Abadie figures of the Austrian Federal Army but still correspond to a figure size of 6cm.

Best regards,
Andreas
