Hello,
Today I would like to show you my loose figures of the Austrian Federal Army (up to 1938) from Abadie. This is the first of two posts; here I'm showing the figures with green grass bases.
There's also a "Parade" series, and I'll show the figures I have from that another time. Assigning them to individual "Soldaten-Bilderbögen" (soldier picture sheets) with numbers, as I did with my Italians from Abadie, isn't possible here, as I don't know all the printed sheets—I don't even know how many different ones there actually were. The only thing that is certain is that some of the figures in this series were also used repeatedly, meaning that one and the same figure appears on a wide variety of printed sheets.
The first group shows leadership personnel with a general and a general staff officer.
The next two, an officer and a rifleman, are wearing the green collar patches of the Jägertruppe (light infantry).
The last group consists of five figures: an officer, two identical assaulters, and two hand grenade launchers. These figures are referred to on the sheets as "Alpenjäger" and so belong to the mountain troops. Apart from the yellow collar patches, there is no other distinguishable difference from the "regular" infantry.
That's all I currently have in my collection on this topic.
These figures are all in the Abadie standard size of 6cm.
Best regards,
Andreas
