Does anyone have any info about the Italian maker Grifo? Not Griffon, but Grifo. They apparently made a 54mm figure of a Schaumburg-Lippe Karabinier from the Seven Years War, and they made 1/1200 white metal ship kits, which I have seen on eBay. But so far, I haven't found any info to indicate that they're still in business, nor have I found anyone selling their figures. They're not listed in mirosoft's spreadsheet, and I didn't find any reference to them in this thread, either.

Thanks in advance, prosit!
Brad

The file contains only actives manufacturers
There is a file in PDF, where you can find an illustratecd list of past manufactures, circa 80 pages ( will be upgraded soon )
And ... a Grifo catalog also in PDF ( with circa 80 others catalog)
If you have copy of old catalogs, you are welcomed, we can develop the PDF available
scan or photo documents, or paper, I will make PDF for everybody to enjoy
First file on the page Nostalgia is global : http://www.mirofsoft.com/nostalgia-old-catalog-pdf/
Enjoy
Grifo is a company of the 80ies, don't exist anymore, they were making 54, 75 and 90mm , here advert in Military Modelling 1984

Thanks, Mirofsoft! I'll have to keep my eyes open for them now on the second-hand market. If I come across any catalog info, I'll be glad to share it with you for the index, too.

Prost!
Brad

Entirely brilliant. Thanks very much for all the hard work. Much appreciated. Cheers, michael

Thanks very much for the collection of old catalogs as well. Nothing like a trip down memory lane. If only the pricing had stayed the same over the years. LOL Cheers, mc

Remember my first visit in London early 70ies
Paying 80p for a sanderson, 90p for a Lasset ( 54mm)

Aaah... if only we had time travel. Those were the days weren't they? Sadly, I used to salivate over Imrie Risley figures in the old Soldier Shop catalogs when a mounted figure was $8, but even more sadly that was a lot of money for a young boy back in the early 70's - at least to spend on kits. Minimum job wage was $2 an hour! What adulthood brought me was a job, disposable income and a second chance. The old catalogs are brilliant and a great guide for what we might have even forgot. I use them regularly for Ebay searches and have discovered many, many kits that have brought me a lot of pleasure to finally own. You are a tremendous resource sir! And many thanks to you for all the efforts.

If I read well, the actuals minimum wage is 7,25US$ expected 10US$ in 2016
So wage increased by x 3.5
A mounted figures was 8 you say; today it is around 70US$ increased by x 9
Which youger can afford that with such wages ?
Thanks for visiting my site, and, I'm more than happy if you found interesting stuff there , your compliments push me to do more .
And by the way, if anybody has old catalogs in Digital form, to complete the list of availability, he is warmly welcomed
