Description from the seller
25 painted pewter figures (1 unpainted) original from the 1950s.
Various manufacturers marked on the base:
- JF (Johannes Frauendorf) majority of the figures
- RD
- K
- Thiele
One rider is marked with Gneisenau
Further riders with the marking "Pr. Brandenbg". This is the historical abbreviation for Prussian Brandenburg or Brandenburg Regiment.
JF in this context most likely stands for Johannes Frauendorf (1889–1961), one of the best-known German engravers and manufacturers of flat tin figures. He signed many of his models with “J.F.” or “JF”. Frauendorf worked first in Leipzig, later in Uebigau, and specialized mainly in military-historical figures (Napoleonic Wars, Prussia, Franco-Prussian War 1870/71, among others).
The figures would probably belong to the following armies:
- Brandenburg Cuirassier or Dragoon Regiment
- Prussian cavalry
- French cavalry
- Russian cavalry
Height: 3.5 cm - 4.5 cm
Width: 1 cm - 6 cm
All in good condition, see photos.
The photos belong to the auction.
Exclusively well-packaged, secure shipping (also international) with tracking!
