Hi all, I hope this is the right forum for this type of query, I would be most interested to know if anyone can identify the maker of these German Officers, they were purchased as painted figures by my father some time in the early seventies from a specialist model shop in London, possibly 'Seagull Models' or 'Under two flags'.
They are extremely well cast in white metal and scale in at around 70/75mm,and are painted, I suspect, in oils.
Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

They might be from the old Jackboot range sculpted by Cliff Sanderson.

Thanks Geoff, could well be Sanderson figures, certainly his style (quite caricature features).

Correct Sanderson sculpting
Was distributed in England by Greenwood & Ball

Interesting stuff, collating all that information must have taken years! final question.....would they be worth anything if I were to sell them?

Value !
A very difficult question, those pieces are out of production since almost 30 years now
here some prices of painted 54mm ( Sanderson ) on ebay : http://www.ebay.fr/sch/Petits-soldats-/2631/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=sanderson
If you try to sell via ebay :
a trick, I have seen often used by sellers in the description Sanderson 80mm WWII NOT Stadden NOT Ray Lamb NOT 90mm
the search engine will respond to the 3 names, to the description WWII, and to the 2 sizes
