Lorena of Winchester, 1864 (sculpted by Dave Whitford) #MB-08

Other figures include 6th LA Vol Infantry (barefoot), 2nd Regt, Cherokee Mounted Rifles, CSA (unusual subject!)

Matt & Alan,
Oops. Sorry for the mis-quoted sculptor! I corrected the post and have given proper credit. (Thanks for pointing that out!)

Stephan,
I'm not sure if Minie Ball is setting up distribution in Germany, but I can ship to you.

Poch,
I am not sure who she was, but am researching on the internet myself. I'll also ask Bob Cotrell, the owner of this line. I'll post a reply when I find out. My guess is she has some historical significance based on diaries or nursing(?)

Regards

Poch & Alan,
The scoop on Lorena of Winchester - there was a popular song with the troops during the Civil War entitled "Lorena". A couple of more figures are planned later this year to complete the series. Imaginative idea!
Regards,
John McNenney
