I am digging through my stash to update my FS/T list and have come across four very OOP Hecker/Goros figures. I think I have had these in my grey army since the early to mid 1990s. Three of the four are in the original packaging w/ header card, the 4th is simply in a zip bag with the box art. On the three in the original packaging are the item numbers (which judging from the H/G website has become another series) and the titles of the figures. Judging from the costumes (lederhosen, etc.) and my very rusty highschool German, I know that they are some kind of mountain troops. Since two of the figures have 98k rifles, I assume they are from 1900 to 1945. All google searches have come up blank. I will appreciate any help identifying these figures (information below).

BHG 4A Gebirgsschutzenkompanie Benediktbeuern Officer
BHG 6 Gebirgschutzenkompanie Schliersee Pionier
BHG 10 no title-- soldat?
???? no title-- soldat?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Matthew,

The BHG10 figure is still in their list as "Bayerischer Artillerist
mit Magazin für GHG 11" and represent an artilleryman from the 1870 Franco-Prussian war, see the attached pic. The others must also be Bavarian, as BHG was the prefix for their Bavarian offerings, which spanned quite a long period from Bavarian history.

Hope this sheds some light,

cheers

"Gebirgsschützenkompanie" are since the midst of the 19. century no more regular troops. Since the 15. century they were normally troops to defence Bavaria. Today they are traditionally groups.

http://www.hdbg.de/schuetzen/german/frames.html Here you can find some informations about the "Tracht" = costume/uniform they are wearing today.

And if you search with the word "Gebirgsschuetzenkompanie" or "Gebirgsschützenkompanie" you can find some more information

Hi Ulrich,
I did another search after posting and found some videos that lead me to understand about the "modern" groups. Thank you for the links I knew you would probably be the person to go to. Now to figure out what to do with these figures.
