A new job-lot arrived by Post this morning - and knock me down with a black banana - but among the 50 odd figures in need of a little TLC - there were six Lucotte figures. Yes - that's right LUCOTTE figures - in a job-lot of figures for repair!{sm2}
Now this is a bit out of my comfort zone - as regretably, not one has crossed my path before - and I don't know where to get any spare parts for Lucotte figures.
Here's a pic below - which shows my six figures in question. Now, they look like something from either WW1 - or maybe a bit before. I will be looking for some information about the identity of each figure first - and maybe where to look for the plug-in heads - and arms which are either holding what's left of weapons - or something else.
The top two - are in blue uniforms. Presumably the loose head with feathered hat plugs in to the left figure - whilst the next right looks lijke a marching infanjtryman - who needs a rifle replacing
The bottom row of four looks like (from L to R) another infantryman who needs a new rifle in left hand/arm - two figures with strange packs I've never seen before. One is holding what could have been the remains of a bugle - and has a lanyard from left shoulder across his chest. The next (third) figure could have been holding a rifle at the slope - but hand and weapon are missing. The last (far right) figure is missing his right arm - and has a pistol at his belt and a cross strap painted on his chest - so presume he's an officer.
Any information at all would be MOST welcome please - on age/identity of each figure - and MOST important of all - please, please, - any idea where I can get some spares to fix 'em up again? Thanks for looking - jb
