I think the mannequin is great,small head /chest size size.Good features-I wouldn't mind one.What I dont get is that they state it is made uniquely by them but they have it for auction and only one?

You will now be bidding against many here on the forum since posting a live auction, it is a real nice mannequin to be sure.

Gents,

Take a look at the link below. Good for our international friends but shipping to the States would cost a small fortune.

Why don't u just get a female mannequin?All of my mannequins are female.all u have to do is pad up above the breast and it looks great.I use the headless ones with the bendable arms then I add one of my heads that i sell.

Hi to All,

I well know the brand Historia-Mannequin because this is the one i use for the customized mannequins that i sell (see below) but just because i don't find any other brand with available mannequins in medium size...

But for me, exept the size, the physical features, face and pose are quite poor in expression and the body position is too static without natural posing. About the only positive point, i mean the size, these mannequins are almost too small! for exemple the arm lenght is 52 cm and the majority of uniform (exept very small size) are too large for them!

Anyway they have the merit to exist and their price keep them attractive but for me not yet exactly the "right" brand for militaria...as already told here and because of the real lack of "right" mannequins on the market, i work on the development of a brand new especially dedicated to militaria collectors...proto's & samples are almost finished and production will be for the following months...of course i will revert to you as soon as they will be available!

Best To All
Thierry

Here is the link to another mannequin in a smaller size that may work for US collectors. This company selling them on ebay has them on a regular basis. I have not bought one myself but from what I have seen the facial features look good and the arms are poseable. If anyone has one of these I would be interested to hear opinions and possibly some better shots of the facial features.
