I'm working on moving an estate sale and would love to know what these are.
The five models on the top have no markings.
The five below are marked 516, 522, T 523, T 519, and 520 respectively on the bottoms of the bases.

I considered Tradition for the second row but the numbering doesn't match a 1979 catalog. They could just be a scattering of random figures but I have that compulsion to know so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

The Imperial German hussar at the end of the middle row is a Stadden/Tradition casting. I have several of those, myself. I don't know if Dr. Bussler copied that particular figure and sold it through his catalog, but if he did, it could be his casting, though the sculpt originates with Stadden.

I think you're right about the rest of that row, I think they are Tradition figures, too.

The ones in the top row look like they might be copies of commercially-available figures. Aren't the two at the right end of the row Fort Henry guards? Anyway, from what I can see of the undersides of their bases, those all look like they may have been cast by a hobbyist. I can see rough cuts where pour gates were removed.

Prost!

Sure thing! Hopefully the rest of the gang can provide more info.

You could probably sell them as a lot, or put them each up on eBay at five bucks apiece. I think they'll move, based on my observations of auctions for similar figures. They're not super-valuable, but I bet there are painter-collectors out there who would pick them up.

Prost!

The Civil War Marines and sailors on the top row and the 2 Marines on the bottom row are recasts of old Sea Soldiers figures from the 60's.
