Title: Koss Figures Time Out
Post by: Stefan on July 25, 2021, 12:35:02 PM
Dear fellow collectors!
 
 I am sorry to announce that new orders of the 30mm flat Renaissance figures I have released can not be accepted until June 2022. I have unfortunately neglected to organize the molds and casts right from the beginning. In the meantime it has simply become too much to handle, due to the quantity of figures. I have lost track. Because of the lack of order and the non-existent stock of casts, it takes me several hours, even on smaller orders, to complete everything. Also, the catalog is long outdated. There are dozens of new figures that have not yet been incorporated due to time constraints. Since I can only work on them in my spare time, it will certainly take me a year to recast all the molds in stock and to completely redo the catalog. This year will probably also see the release of more new engravings.

 However, I will of course take care of the orders that have been placed until now as soon as possible.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
Stefan

Herr Koss,


Did you ever resume production/ taking orders?


If yes, how does one go about ordering?


Regards,


Neil

Dear Neil,
I am in the process of creating a new catalogue. I have to change all the order numbers, otherwise I will lose too much time trying to find the right figures. In addition, I have received several new engraved figures in recent years, which unfortunately are not yet included in the catalogue. There are new lansquenets, new knights and Spanish cavalry. I have also started a brand new series on the Hungarian War of Succession between Zapolya and Ferdinand I. I am currently having stradiots, Hungarian and Turkish light cavalry engraved for the period around 1530.  The first figures have already been engraved here too.
I hope to be finished with the new order numbers by 30 July 2024. Then I can send you a catalogue by email.
Unfortunately, I have completely lost track.  So I still need some time.
Regards,
Stefan

Stefan,


First of all good luck on this, one forgets the amount of toil associated with producing flat figures.  If you wish when you have a catalog it could also be added to the list of Vendor Catalogs on this site.

Thank you Stefan. I look forward to the product of your labours! ☺
The list of new engravings is mouthwatering!

Dear collector friends,
Unfortunately I have still not been able to complete the work on the catalogue.  :-[
I have been invited to play the piano at a concert on 15 August and therefore had to spend all my free time in July preparing. As I will probably not be able to go on holiday this year until October, the catalogue will probably not be ready until the end of October.
As a preview for my new figures, here is one from the series of the Hungarian Civil War around 1530. I should receive more figures from this series in Kulmbach.

Stefan,


Thanks for letting us know. Real life often intervenes into the more important world of toy soldiers......😁
