Title: Coach
Post by: snagy on February 20, 2017, 11:45:01 AM

Friends,
recently I saw a set on eBay that depicts a coach with attendants.
Since  -  according to the attires and armament of the figures - it can be as good as even a Hungaran/Transylvanian procession I would be curious about the maker and about the topic.
Thank you.
Sandor

Ulrich Arwed Koch (passed away by now),

Imperial (?) embassy at the Sublime Porte (in Constantinople) (part of)
45 mm (or so) size.

No idea, who owns the moulds now.

Interesting subject. Who engraved them? I don't recognize the style based on those photos.

If you google his name  " Arwed Ulrich Koch" you can find some of his uniform drawings 
and this picture, showing him and some of his figures.

hello friends,


please allow me to post that the former A.U.Koch figures are available at my table in Kulmbach.

Pre orders are helpful  ;)

Hello,

i've a pdf file of part of previous Koch's catalog. Now figures are into Martin Schürger's hands.

Very interesting figures, for poses and scale.


See most of you (i hope) in Kulmbach,

Claudio
