Your contact was incorrect on one point, though. Wollner was an Austrian firm, located in Vienna, not German. Your figures depict the old K-u-K army. The Kaiser is Franz Josef.

If I were you, I would keep them. You're not likely to be able to flip them for a decent profit.

yes i know, he mix up the countrys a little bit (Germany-austria).
Anyway they are great fun for researching and photographing:

First i was thinking there was only the Kaiser and some random cavarly riders but than i see they are different uniforms and probably they were made based on important generals like Radetzky for example,... This one i post 3 photos here was probably Ban Josip Jelačić (today national hero of Croatia, which was under KUK back in the days). The rest is also need to be research.
