Thanks very much Mike, I appreciate it. Yes, believe it or not, I shot that with an iPhone 6 Plus.

Teutonic Knight Grand Master, Hermann Von Salza, by AeroArt.



 
Thank you for that information Poppo. I did not know that.

This is the AeroArt description:

Hermann von Slaza (1179-1239) as fourth Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights guided the growth and destiny of these warrior monks in numerous crusades from Spain to the Holy Land and Eastern Europe. Von Salza was connected to the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II whom he represented at the Papal curia from 1222 till his death. It was from these curias the Pope Honorius III became impressed with the Grand Master and reestablished the Teutonic Knights on an equal status with the Templar and Hospitaller Knights, after the order had declined under the previous Grand Master. In 1230 he oversaw the initiation of the order’s expansion into Prussia. By 1237 he was able to secure the incorporation of the Sword Brethren into the Teutonic Knights. He retired to Salerno and died there in 1239.

He was probably taken as an example for the nazi because he initiated the expansion into Prussia.By the way, the nazi hypocrisy celebrated the historical teutonic order , but they persecuted the existent teutonic order.

I wish! I actually got this over a year ago and thought I posted it but guess not. I recall that you had a few musical pieces.
 
Continuing with the musical theme, I think this was my first Russian figure (inspired by Zach), a Napoleonic Oboe-ist or Clarinetist by AeroArt.



 
Thanks Joe, I appreciate it. I think this might have been my first Russian figure. I had the inspiration to buy it after seeing your of your Russian collections and Zach’s photos and his photos of a couple of similar figures.
 
Brad, I’ll take a look around for you. There was someone out there a while ago who had these castings, the whole band. I want to say it was sineus but will double check.

Well that was a great first buy! The painting of that figure is beautiful, and it's not a figure I recall seeing often at all. I'm humbled that you felt inspired to test the waters after seeing mine and Zach's figures. That's really cool, thank you.
