Mervyn Mitton Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I bought some months ago, these attractive models of Italian Regiments. I would think they are from the Napoleonic period and each represents a different type of Regiment. From left : Dragoon , Grenadier , Infantry , Hussar. Each one is 12 inches high (30cm) and appears to be made of a plaster - they are mounted on blocks of Italian marble. They make a fine display and are in good condition. I will be interested to see if the model experts agree with my description ? If you have any idea of when they were made - or, of value the info. will be appreciated.

IrishGunner Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Actually, I like these figures a lot. I have two similar Goebbel porcelain figures - Napoleonic artillery and a US artillery captain. Edited April 4, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinRF Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The subjects aren't Italian - you have left to right (IMO) an Empress Dragoon of the Guard, a Guard Grenadier, a young guard or line Voltiguer, and a Chasseur a Cheval of the Guard.

Mervyn Mitton Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thankyou Colin - that certainly makes a difference. A case of jumping to conclusions because of the Italian label. I only come occasionally to this forum to admire the models - Ulsterman has referred to a post by Bruni - I can't find this - what was the association ?

Ulsterman Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) The Italian Bruni sisters....in bikinis...Something witty that I think Chris posted. I read it just before your topic came up and had a rather different image in mind....Italian models, Sarkozy era....
