Is this figure available only online or will it be available in hobby shops ?

Just ordered mine from Ulrich.
I found this whilst doing a search for the battalion, http://www.flickr.com/photos/drakegoodman/5552246174/ of particular note is the number on the picklehaube cover, the numerals on the collar and how much darker the trousers are to the tunic. Hope this is of some interest.

Thanks, Roger. Yes, one member of that Regiment was Richard Schirrmann, founder of the Youth hostel here in germany and later all over the world. A part of his bequest is laying in the archive where I work and because we will make a great exhibition next year about WW1 I have the task to search all important documents and present them.

I remember you telling me about Richard Schirmann but I didn't make the connection when I found the archive of his pictures online.
Are there any plans to making your figure part of the exhibition? It's an idea.

Roger.
