Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of these two? I am attaching photos of the bottoms of each

Thanks!

If no one replies, try searching the forum, especially this subforum, because I think there's a thread here with diagrams of the Russian makers' markings in here somewhere, from a couple years back.

Prost!

Zach,

Maybe Alex will see this but you might try Pm'ing him as he is one of the experts on this Forum about Russian figures. Combat also has quite a few Russian figures so he might be able to help you too.

The top one w/ the crowned "R" is from the Romanov line of Russian figures.

I'm not certain about the other one. I might be able to identify the manufacturer from a picture of the figure itself.

Hope this helps,
Joe

Thanks joe. when I get home, I'll snap a photo of it

Here he is....sorry so tiny

If you need bigger or more detail, just let me know.

This is different that most of my others in that the colors are a little more muted and the sword is part of the sculpt, not a separate (or stainless piece).

Zach,

Thank you for the pic. This is not a studio specific casting, so the assembly and painting could have been performed by any number of Russian "studios". Since this is a kit figure and not a studio exclusive sculpt, I can't ID this one w/ absolute certainty. Sorry about that.

Joe, understood that the casting isn't exclusive to one studio, but wouldn't the marking on the underside indicate who painted it?

Prost!

Brad,

Yes, one of the sets of initials would be the signature of the painter. The "AR" signature indicates that the figure was sculpted by Andrey Rogachev. He sculpted figures for various kit manufacturers and studios before branching out on his own. It was then that he sculpted and painted all of his own figures. The other set of initials would indicate who painted the figure, but I don't recognize the signature.

Cool, thanks for explaining the mark, Joe!

I'm still looking for the older thread, where we had either an attachment, or maybe a link to a page, that explained the marks and had examples of the more well-known marks. If I can find it, I'll post it back here.

Prost!
Brad

Another one...

I am not familiar with this company. Does anyone know what it is?
