Further Look at German Knight

This figure and three others were sold by  Heinerle also known as Dom Plastik.  The figures were sold with various castles. One was by Brohm, which did an Ideal castle on a vacuum form base.

Here is a different castle with Landsknecht figure along with the other Heinerle knights

We thank Mathias for permission to use the photo.

The confusion on who made it goes to an early publication by Andreas Dittmann. He is one who listed  the figures as Koho. Makus Lecksheid has been doing  research and has come with the new information which he passed along to Andreas. Andreas and other  Germans are doing updates to the reference books on german figures. They have found lots more information that was not around in the early years of the hobby.

Erwin tells me the figures were sold in Italy and Austria in the 70’s. The company in Austria selling it was Plastik. My figure is from the1960’s.

The 70mm Lansquenets.. They were produced by Koho and added to Knight Brohm’s castles at the time. Old bag of Koch & amp; Hofmokel .There photos of set and packing from KOHO as well

    I have these knights , the landsknecht, also the one in the picture separate on top and one more with an axe , I do not believe they are KOHO, or Heinerle Dom plastic as I have these as well and they are very different, These three are more sturdy, refined and detailed and have a thicker base
