J.F.Schreiber 920 - Stürmende Infanterie (mit Gasmaske)

Hello,

Today I'm showing you some Wehrmacht soldiers again. 

This time they're JFS figures from set no. 920 German Army - Assaulting Infantry (with gas mask) "Deutsches Heer - Stürmende Infanterie (mit Gasmaske)".

Some of the figures were glued onto plywood, some onto very thick cardboard, and presumably cut out with a scrollsaw. Due to the thickness of the material, they've stood the test of time quite well, even though they've clearly been played with. 

The figures are 10 cm tall.

Best regards,

Andreas

Preußische Garde-Fußartillerie - Oehmigke & Riemschneider Neuruppin Nr.8440

Hello,

Today I'm showing you a printed sheet from Oehmigke & Riemschneider in Neuruppin. It bears the number 8440 and depicts Prussian foot artillerymen with their teams and guns. 

The printed sheet dates back to around 1887. The coloring was done using stencils, and the color was smudged in several places. The red shoulder boards are incorrect. These should have been white for the Guards Foot Artillery Regiment by this time. 

The mounted and foot figures differ slightly in size. The foot figures are approximately 7 cm tall, while the mounted figures are slightly smaller at about 6 cm tall.

Best regards,

Andreas

Feldartillerie, Gustav Kühn 10283

Hello,

Today I'm showing another figure from Gustav Kühn.

It's an officer using a field telescope (Scherenfernrohr), from print sheet 10283 "German Reichswehr - Field Artillery". 

I've already shown several Gustav Kühn figures, but this one is actually the very first one that I can definitively say came from a contemporary print sheet, and wasn't printed as an advertisement in a newspaper or magazine.

The figure was mounted on plywood and is 10cm tall.

Best regards,

Andreas
