Title: Nonn Hungarian Grenadiers ?
Post by: RedHussar on March 01, 2018, 03:13:35 PM

so I have received the lot of Hungarian Grenadiers that appeared to me in the photo to be Nonn figures...the paint job on the figs I have received is top quality...very similarl to Nonn figs...but they are marked on one side of the base " SM " and on the other side of the base " S " ...???

It sounds like Scheibert. They were available through his grand-daughter, Frau Ulla Schilller Rathke.

I have a number of Scheibert figures including some French Napoleonic Guard-Lancers with the same editor's initial - S (Scheibert,) and engraver's initials - SM (Sixtus Maier).   I obtained the French lancers from Franz Rieder's stand at Kulmbach last summer.  He can be contacted at: www.zinnfigurenwelt-katszeldorf.at


Sixtus Maier (1907-1968) worked for a number of different editors and produced beautiful figures that are finely detailed and certainly very collectable.


Best wishes,
Peter

Hello,

The website deserves really a visite. Furthermore there you can load up the catalogues. The figures are very good (drawing, engraving, casting).

There is a little mistake in the address given by Peter, the right is
http://www.zinnfigurenwelt-katzelsdorf.at

Friendly regards.
Richard
