HI Bill...I do like the tigers! The female just seems to capure that 'slumped' look!
In looking at an old catalogue I found an exact same 1st War Patriotic bust as the one I have, and it was described as having the Nymphenburg logo on the base. But I think I am right on saying that mine is NOT a Nymphenburg marking. It is certainly not up to the standard of that company.
I'm attaching images of the SA Reiter...what makes me think it is post war is the lack of detail on the insignia; no swastika, no collar tabs and just the hint of an eagle on the kepi.
The horse detail is better than the rider! The other thing is that the price I paid is in keeping with a copy and not a period piece, and I gave up believing in Santa Claus a long time ago!
