Hi There,
I Munich I am sure you can find some figures in the antique shops but they may not be what you are looking for. There is a great little Toy Museum in Munich right down the street from the giant Glockenspiel in Marian Platz you should go and see it. The museum in in one of the towers of the Old Rathaus and is quite fun if you enjoy old composition soldiers. In Salzberg I have found old flats and semi rounds in various antique shops but the prices are high. 1 euro for a 30mm flat figure is a bit too high if you ask me. I Prague I found Toy Soldiers in the large second hand Market area so I am sure you can find them there still since i see soldiers all over Germany in the Flae Markets etc. As for Budapest I cant say for sure but you might have some luck. If you do find any shops please get the addresses and post them here. Also I have fuond figures in a shop in Rothenberg that were made by a guy from Slovenia but the owner of the shop didnt have a name or any info for him the figures were really well done 60mm Matte Austrian Empire and were priced to sell so he has probably sold them out. I will be in Rothenberg next weekend and will have a look to see if there are any available. I will post here if there are.
