Toy soldiers identification (urgent!!!) (1 Viewer)

[Aleš]

Someone offer to me this toy soldiers. He say they are around 1910-1930, but i am not sure. He do not know much about toy soldiers because he owns antique book store.
He is willing to sale them to me. But before i buy them i will like to know, something more about this toy soldiers. Who made them? What is the value of this toy soldiers?
I have only this photo:



In this photo you can see only soldiers but there is also one diorama piece, verry cool, something about barbed wire, for me the most interesting piece....anyway it look like it is a part of this set...so does anyone know some more informations about those toy soldiers?

They're mostly homecasts, mostly German.

In the first row, all but the first figure are definitely made with Schneider molds.

In the middle row, the soldier lying prone and firing, and the hussar trumpeter at the end of the row, are also from Schneider molds. The Egyptians or Turks at the beginning of the row look like they could be Schneider, or maybe Ideal; they're missing their bases, obviously. The cavalryman in the middle of the row might be a Heyde figure, but I can't be sure. I don't know about the figure of the soldier on his back; I've never seen that one before.

In the bottom row, I have no idea what that first piece is. It looks like it's upside down for the photo. The cavalryman without a base is a Schneider figure. The tip of his lance and lance pennon are also missing. I don't know what that thing is below him. The next figure looks like another one of the Egyptians/Turks from the second row. The rest of the figures in the bottom row are also Schneider figures, a running infantryman, who would have had a base attached to his missing foot, and two artillerymen, who went with a field piece.

As far as value goes, there's not much to them. The horseless cavalryman, possibly Heyde, is probably the most valuable piece in the lot. The rest of them are damaged, and most of them are not particularly rare. Also, it's almost impossible to date them, since the molds still exist. The damaged figures are really only worth their melt value.

Prost!

Thank you for identification,...so i guees i didnt find a hidden treasure. The seller wants 45 euro,...i will probably pass on this, since they are damaged.
