Bill - If you just purchased that foal within the last week or two then I was also a contender for it. However, for some reason that particular Meissen foal doesn't appeal to me aesthetically - maybe because he seems like he's in such an uncomfortably compact pose - so I didn't bid much. He's got great detail, no doubt, but just didn't excite me enough, even though it's a Meissen Bottger horse. I'd rather save up for one of the big boys - like 'Alchimist' or 'Packard', both by Erich Oehme. Glad you were able to add him to your menagerie though! Congrats!
Erich - Yes, the terracotta Reiter bust is mine and it was also made by Hertwig. He has the number 2948 molded underneath the base.
