"Wanted-Imperialist Miniatures list" Topic

I am in search of the late Bob Haggerty's 25mm Malburian War list. If anyone can help could you post it or email me a copy. Also, if anyone has any thoughts on the line, could you share them? Thanks, halthinglum@aol.com

I'll try to keep an eye out for a catalog in the garage, but Bob's been dead too long for any optimism. His friends too. You really want to consult a medium for this one.

A good line. True 25's, well proportioned and detailed. I remember some fuss over his efforts to get multiple masters for gunners. He paid competent professional sculptors--which was the problem. Too much investment, too much competition, too little demand.

That's a blast from the past! I remember making orders by mail and talking Bob a few times on the phone – definitely 'ol school in ordering. Great stuff. I really liked the cool looking cannons…still use them today. The figures were out-scaled by other manufactures I already had…but it was all good. I looked through my files, and couldn't find the catalog. I think this is one of those lines gone forever.

P.

Never fear! I was with Chris Fahnenstock this last weekend and Chris has all the molds. Just before Bob passed, he asked Chris and me to ensure his labor of love lived on. We (GFI) had his molds and were doing his casting and mold making for him. We are reasonably sure we have all his molds. We also located his last catalog while sorting thru GFI stuff.

We discussed getting these back onto the market before the end of the year. Chris is still full time employed and just lost his father two weeks ago so he needs some time to tie up his Dad's affairs. We are dedicated to see more figures once again being "Made in the USA".

I'll see if Chris can scan the Imperialist Enterprises catalog so we can hang it somewhere where everyone can see it. BTW, this also will include his rather larger (in size) 28mm Napoleonic range. I can remember molding up his 3 barrel French cannon for the WSS!

Hope this is found to be good news for many.

I thought Chris had them, but I couldn't find any of his stuff. I remember discussing it with him years ago.

I am afraid that I can't find my old list. It probably got tossed at some point in time.

Great news about the line and the fact that Chris is still truckin' along. I had the pleasure of meeting and doing business with him some years ago in Texas.

Hey Tom,
I have two of those three-barrel cannons for the WSS…they make an appearance in my Pirate games.

To all. Hal got the 3 page "catalog". (Hi, Greg!) If anyone would like a copy for your catalog collection, PM me with your email so I can attach the JPGs.

Chris is not yet set up to accept orders as he still has a full-time job for another year.

Good to hear that Robert's line may still carry on. He was a wonderful person and had a lot of passion for this period.
