Thanks Mike. That is very kind of you. There would be several sets of interest but I cannot do anything real soon. Is the French staff officer set #1052 also available? In general, what are the sets priced at? Thanks, Al

Hi Al,

I would be happy to reserve some of these sets for you until you are ready to have them shipped. Unfortunately, I do not have an extra 1052 WW I FRENCH STAFF OFFICERS set available, but I can order it for you on next year's Hiriart order, if you wish. It would not be shipped from Uruguay until June or December of 2012. The 2011 prices are $125 per set. Shipping to the east coast for one set via Priority Mail with delivery confirmation is $13 while two sets are $15. Thanks.

Yet another eBay offering today from patron3085. He says they are Royal Marines in wintercoats, but I believe they are actually Royal Marine Light Infantry based on their helmets. What ever. He is asking $150 for a mounted officer and ten foot figures plus $25 shipping.

Sorry, but these are the only photos I have of those two sets. I had a special 19 or 20 figure set of 1156 Chasseurs Alpins as a band made for me, but they are still tied into their box and I don't have a picture of it.

Thank you for this fast answer and your information. If one day, you have individual photos of these figurines I am ok to see them. You speak about a band made for you. I did not know that it was feasible. Would you have an address please? The answer can be in PM if you prefer. Still THANK YOU

I had the bands made as special non-catalog sets last year. I still have one left for sale. I also have the other two sets available plus a special 1156 add-on set with 9 extra men. If you, or anyone else is interested, contact me at matara42@roadrunner.com

Hi drac038,

I found a photo of the special WORLD WAR I FRENCH CHASSEURS ALPINS band that Hiriart made for me. It has 19 figures. I have had numerous non-catalog specials made as bands for me over the past six years. In fact, they are the "easiest" and most common non-catalog set to make since they usually involve just chaging out the arms to hold musical instruments.

Since I started this thread and posted some photos of my World War I French Military Parade, 1914, display about 14 months ago, the Forum has made the posting of larger photos possible. So here are some new photos of my display which I have also slightly changed by putting the officers and flagbearers in front of the men and which now includes a set of sailors. All the Hiriart sets on display are standard catalog sets. From left to right:

1127 ZOUAVES DE CONSTANTINE

1143 INFANTERIE DE LIGNE

1145 FUSILIERS MARINS
