Luxuspapierfabrik Berlin - Schweizer Schützen

Hello,

Following the general introduction of these figures a few days ago, today I'm showing you the Swiss Army riflemen (Schützen).

These represent the typical structure of a unit of these foldable figures. There are usually five groups of figures: one group depicts musicians, the other four represent infantry or cavalry, with one (sometimes two) figures representing an officer. Artillery, engineers, and other troops, however, do not include musicians and sometimes not even officers. Therefore, these groups usually only have fewer figure strips (mostly two to four).

The riflemen shown here come from box number 1 of the Swiss Army. The Swiss Army comprised a total of three boxes. I am familiar with the following Swiss figures from this series:

- Infanterie (Infantry)

- Schützen (Riflemen)

- Landsturm (Home Guard)

- Feld-Artillerie (Field Artillery)

- Berg-Artillerie (Mountain Artillery)

- Genie-Sappeur (Engineer Sapper)

- Dragoner (Dragoon)

Best regards,

Andreas
