I like the Bowie reference and the translated German Sprichwort in the other title, Andreas. I got them!

Prost!

A that time, Deauville was one of the very first to make figures with diorama in mind .

These 2 sets are most interesting, as I have one as well in my collection , its Grenadier à Cheval de la Garde & Train D'artillerie c 1813

but mine was sold as castings from Errol John Studios and I bought it from Errol at the London Toy Soldier Show in 2008???

As far as I know that was the last time he was selling castings, they were only to be sold as painted figures, usually in gloss.

Does anyone know if he is still in business??
