I think I have an idea but could someone tell me what ship class(es) these miniatures are supposed to represent?

Thank you. I still don't know what they represent.

Since their product number implies a 1920's design, could they be one of these? Especially the GK series about halfway down the article. Even using a photoshop type JPG viewer my old eyes cannot make out details from this picture and I cannot find any description on line for Figureheat IG094 product.

Damned if I know.

Lord, I'd hate to think the middle one is supposed to be CL Konigsberg. But those offset after turrets…?

@BuckeyeBob An intriguing possibility, thank you. And thanks for an introduction to Shipbucket.

These are alternative designs for the "Panzerschiffe"; Not sure where I read about them, a coastal defense option (What the framers of the Versailles Treaty intended to restrict the Germans to), well, let's find the source.

The original catalog listing for 1G94 from the 1990s says "Versailles treaty ships; 3 types x2 each"

So they are some sort of never-built predecessor to the "pocket battleships" which fought in WW2.
