Generalfeldmarschall von Blücher Cast-Iron Statue

[vonStubben]

Here's a very nice cast-iron figurene of Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. The base incorporates the two keys from his Familiewappen/Coat of Arms.

I believe it to be of 19th century vintage.

There's one little flaw in that the longer of his two sword hangers has been lost to time.

If anyone knows the name of the foundry that made him please post it here. Their initials are S.H. within an oval.

Nice, always like to see images of the co-victor of Waterloo.

He saved the day!

He saved the day!

He certainly did. While recovering from wounds he had just received a few days earlier too.

Very nice which is why I'd like to learn who the maker was.

I know the English love to denigrate the role of the Prussians at Belle-Alliance, since they consider the only victor to be Wellington. But, as Brian says, even Wellington had to admit the pivotal role of Bluecher and his army.
