Winsome Warriors (2 Viewers)

[mbennett]

Does anyone have information about this manufacturer? I am particularly interested in castings from the Muskets and Mohawks series, centering on the French and Indian War. I have three of the Native American figures that I have painted, but would like to find more somewhere, somehow. (I am trying to attach pictures, but they look huge. Hope this works.)

Hi, mbennett, welcome to the forum!

Winsome Warriors was a joint effort between Eric Reinikka and his half-brother, Daniel Karppinen, begun in 1982. The series you're interested in was apparently the first that they issued, but I don't know if it reflects the bulk of their output. Sadly, Mr. Reinikka passed away, but you might find this thread here in the forum interesting:

You might want to contact Nevinsrip for more info about the fate of the Muskets & Mohawks line since that time.

Hope that helps, prosit!
