Title: Identifying Napoleonic Figures
Post by: barryw on November 27, 2024, 01:28:17 PM

Hi all
Please help a novice!

I have some Napoleonic figures which I would like to identify the editor by the middle markings on the base as I understand the initials at either end are the designer and engraver.
HWE
Tm the right hand side of the T extends over the m
JF
Joubert
SHA
HK the right hand downstroke of the H is joined to the downstroke of the K
Thanks
Barry

SHA should be Werner Fechner.But the Offizin does not exist anymore, because Mr Fechner passed away in 2023.

Without seeing them, we can't be sure, but JF is probably Johannes Frauendorf, who produced extensive ranges of Napoleonic figures in action poses, perfect for diorama work. It is possible the TM is Tilio Maier. What are the figures?

I think HK should be Harald Kebbel. He edited Weimarische Scharfschützen 1806, Weimarische Husaren (2 pieces only) 1806, Preußische Offiziere 1806. All engraved by Franz Karl Mohr. I think editor is Wolfgang Unger actually.
