 Austrian Dragoons [1913 version], comprising: Mounted Officer on brown horse with extended sabre arm, Mounted Trumpeter on grey horse & 3 x Mounted Dragoons on brown and black horses [marked with the additional "Depose" designation] all holding short pattern Carbines. It is possible these figures originated as Paris Office variants [of set 176] with the moulds/castings returned from the [Paris] Factory when it closed in 1923. Some minor age wear & possible retouching [to Trumpeter's Shoulder] otherwise generally Excellent overall, contained [re-strung] in a generally Excellent [minor scuffing to extremities] early printed "Types of the Austro Hungarian Army" [green] label box without lid end set label.
