Hunter with Horse and Dog Figurine

This is a figure of a huntsman leading his horse with his hunting dog out front. The figure was made by Nymphenburg in the earlier 20th century - 1930 to be exact. So almost a true antique! This is a model from the hunting series originally designed by modeled by Carl Gottlieb Lück for Frankenthal in the 1760s. The 18th century pieces are amazing but also impossible to find. They come in three different colors - red, green and yellow as is the case with this figurine. The hunter here is nicely dressed in a typical outfit. He is standing next to and leading his white horse by the reigns. His trusted dog in front. The dog has large grey spots as well as small black spots all over. All three are standing on a typical base with gilded scrolls all around. The figurine is 5.875 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches long. Marked with the impressed shield mark underneath as well as the impressed numbers 1065 over 2 and the blue monogram CT for it being a Frankenthal model originally with the year mark 1930 under that. The figurine is in great condition with a small piece of the reigns between his hand and the horse's head missing as well as between his hands and saddle that connect to the reigns on the other side of the horse's head. Not overly obvious and the piece displays very nicely! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
