We looked at this funny little 40mm
composition on styrene-base'd dictator nine years ago and I promised at the
time to take better pictures when I got my next camera, but that happened after
the figure had gone to storage! I've worn-out at least three cameras (I
think I'm on the forth?) since then, but here - as promised - are the
follow-up shots!
Best to view these in the context of the original
post; XYZ is for Busolin, Fusolin Musoline, or Dusolin! It's all
there, especially in the comments; where Bod's Paul solved the ID and found
some on-line which I've posted below.
The peskey base mark which caused all the
problem last time, still not clear, but a heavy mark especially on the cursive 'W' and
umlauted 'ü' have rendered it hard to read in
any light!
This group was on feebleBay at the time and
you can see the bases are the same clipped-corner lozenges, a bit like old
Fisherman's Friends (which I quite like, but being a bit of a wuss; have to
consume in quarters! But they definitely warm you up in a snow-hole!).
Sadly, apart from the stuff which Paul
turned-up at the time, nothing much else has come to light on these, a few auction lots and a metal (demi-rond) naval band on the same plastic bases? But not much else . . . I don't know if
they are in the new book? Dates of availability or a potted history of the
company are the main missing pieces of the jigsaw. Although mine is obviously
Hitler, in his 1930's-on party uniform, the other two - I think it's fair to
say - could pass for late WW I staffers, as could (WW I) most of the other figures I've tracked down?
