Hi Darius

The porcelain figure was/is a impressive piece in its own but are you
Sure the womens shirt is period painted?? It seems like the shirt is missing the glaze or clear coat over the paint like the strong glaze of the horse..to me it looks not like the women was always wearing that shirt with ss armband.

Im not a porcelain guy, so i like to learn more about such non allach but ss related porcelain figures..

Here is the male version of the hertwig&co riders

good point Andreas.. i had not seen this one at GM, its interesting variation.. i will try to see if i can get better pictures of the girl rider's arm band

[Thorsten B.]

I agree to Andreas´ statement - the girl´s shirt has been overpainted and the armband is not original either.

Actually why should it be there at all?

Exactly..it would be interesting to see a image how this figure looks originally...
I surfed already through the web but couldnt find a image of a Hertwig & Co horse rider figure..except the one on GMs website..

Here is a civilian. There are other small variations other than color, so they aren't the exact same piece.

Indeed I see no reason to sell my beautiful and original Reichsnährstand plate.

This plate that you are selling on the e-stand now despite your comment less than two weeks ago above - What's your explanation for it saying 60 years on the back but carved with 50?
