<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 563575, member: 308"]I'm going to go with German based on the bottoms. The later Japanese (and Chinese) pieces tend to have large holes in the base. You are more likely to see these small holes on German pieces. If you are worried about arm repairs you can check them with a black light. The light will show the cracks if they have been repaired. The color differences don't bother me too much. There's a chance, I suppose, that the arm was attached after the figurines were removed from the mold to make the manufacturing process easier. The "H" is probably a decorator mark and the numbers would be the mold shape. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unger Schneider is another possibility but without a mark...For pricing check completed sales on ebay for Gebruder Heubach and Unger Schneider. Good luck with your downsizing! </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
