Thanks Al. I don't believe that I have ever seen Austrian Ski Troops from any other manufacturer before.

Thanks Wolfgang, you are welcome. There is just a small group of us who do love Austro-Hungarian toy soldiers. In addition to the Austrian Rifles and ski troops, Hiriart has made an Austrian Mountain Artillery set, WWI Austro-Hungarian Hussars in 1914, WWI Austro-Hungarian Dragoons in 1914, and WWII Hungarian Infantry. I have considered ordering a special commission of pre-war Bosnian Infantry from Hiriart, but have not done so yet.

As an aside, I notice you are located in Belgium. I have ordered a special commission from Hiriart of World War I Belgian Infantry in 1916 wearing Adrian helmets on my 2016 order.

Hello Mike,
thank you for your kind reply and appolgies for my "typical" and naive never-getting-enough-remarks
concerning the Bosniacs which of cause wheren' t ment to tease neither you nor HIRIART. I sure do appriciate the variety of sets that where made available by HIRIART so far. I fully agree that they seem to be the only company dealing with such exotic sets like the listed Austro-Hungarian WWI-sets and many many others like SCV etc. It just came to my mind that as far as I can recall only the old austrian producers ever did Bosniacs as TS. So please value my remarks as a loud HURRAH for what you have put up here so far.
I will keep on enjoying the threads you are putting up here and I am sure a lot of fellow collectors feel the same.
Thank you for all your efforts especially in bearing with collectors like me.
Kind regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

There is no need to apologize for anything and I am glad you are enjoying seeing all the various sets made by Hiriart.

Australian Bob Hume produced a very fine line of Austro-Hungarian toy soldiers under the name of Doppel Adler Soldaten. Last year, under the Collections Forum, I posted photos of Doppel Adler Soldaten Bosnian Infantry which you might want to take a look at.

Here is what the set looks like still tied in its box, as received from Uruguay on Friday. This is really a great set. Hiriart's stock photo in post #1 doesn't do it justice.
