The Major

Following a violent robbery in France by a known UK criminal French based Criminal gang, Max Chevallier is offerring a 1000 EURO financial reward for information resulting in the aprehension and arrest of the UK English foreign criminals who tried to steal their Chota Sahib and Studio Figurine Range, which they previously purchased legaly from Patrick J D Willis in 2009.

The Chevallier family own Chota Sahib and former Sarum Studio Figurine ranges, both 54Mm as well as 90 MM scale, this uk solicitors document of sale and purchase firmly included all copyright and intellectual property.

Due to the Piracy of his figures by FROME Model Centre, and others, the CHEVALLIER family will refuse to do business with UK Retailers until the theft is dealt with to their satisfaction. Mr Simon ENGLAND of Frome Model Centre was Max Chevalliers former retailer in the Uk and stole the intellectual property and has been re selling Piracy figure products of the Chota Sahib and Studio Figurines.

The Chevallier family will be re issuing the toy soldier ranges from Europe beginning in 2024. The toy soldiers will be sold from their own dedicated secure server site. Att his time, only un painted Metal toy soldiers and castings (Kits) will be available. Painted sets are to be issued later once the business is firmly re established.

Maxime (MAX) CHEVALLIER and Maryse FABRE CHEVALLIER purchased the entire ranges from Abram SIMON last year and they have been shipped to the EU for Re launching back onto the toy soldier market from their European workshops.

This re launch is scheduled to begin in 2024.

Sadly it has been reported, that Mr Abram Simon passed away in 2024 following a long period of apparrent ill health, leaving his Widow Ana (Anastasia ) and his Son Victor. His sudden, unexpected, death at such a early age, deprives the Toy Figure Hobby Industry of one of its youngest, and most Knowledgeable younger members, and the resultant loss of FLEURBAIX Toy Soldiers no doubt will be felt everywhere in the Toy Soldier collectors associattions and Community.

Thankyou Baron.
Yes I purchased a large quantity of Ranges from Abram Simon in New Zealand. Sadly Abram Simon passed away after a battle with a long Health condition, leaving behind him a widow with two children. I am going to re issue the former French CRECY Knights first, and then the "English and Foot Soldiers and finaly the "infamous Looters (Burgundians and some English from the period too).
You might be interested also to know I bought the "Mountford Artillery" Kits, the "Under Two Flags Range", the JG Miniatures Romans , Gladiators and the entire surviving Rosedale and Rose Range (Rose Egyptian series sold originaly to the Simons from John Eden studios). Also I acquired the complete "Music in Miniature" range and the Burlington Horse rider Range.
its all very eciting really, and we are alsoworking on the former Jack and Thelma Duke (DUCAL" ranges .
Watch my posts over coming weeks for updates.

Welcome to the forum!
Did you get your lines from the now-defunct Fleurbaix? Good to see someone picked these brands up.
I look forward to seeing your posts in the forum.
Best regards,
