Help wanted - is it Wiking - or a copy? (nur Englisch)

#1 von razzda , 28.12.2014 13:42

Hello forum

I was advised by a contact to ask in this forum.

I have a number of small vehicles which I would like to have identified. The toys have been in my family's possession since the early 1970s, and have been stored ever since here in Denmark. Only now do they see the daylight.




They certainly look like Wiking's line of 1:200 vehicles, as seen here : http://h0-klassiker.blogspot.dk/2006/08/wiking-verkehrs-modelle-in-1200.html

However, there is no stamp on the inside of the cast to identify the manufacturer and there are painted both blue-white-red army circles and red crosses, painting which I have not seen on Wiking toys.

Please see the attached image links. I can provide closeups, if necessary.

I would be grateful for any information. Specifically, are they Wiking or a copy / licenced to another company. And have they been modified, perhaps by the owner?

Razzda,
I think, mostly Wiking.
But the cars in the second row?
I think, that is not the original "Kübelwagen".
And the blue colour is also not from Wiking.
May be "Pilot" Denmark?
Have a nice time!
Botho
I am Wiking 1:200 collector since 20 years.
Sorry, my English ist not the best.

Hallo Botho!

Vielen Dank für Ihre schnelle Antwort :-)

Ok, so I cannot expect them to be stamped by Wiking on the inside, even though they are original?

Thank you, once again.

I have another interesting piece that I would like to have identified. Length 13,5 cms, width 2,1 cm.




Can anyone identify it?

Best regards

razzda

I agree, "Pilot" is perhaps the right answer for the blue cars. I know that they made Wiking under licence.

Thank you

razzda

Razzda,
in my collection I have many original Wiking items without Wiking stamp.
Ships? Sorry, not my territory.

Danke, Uwe!
Daran hatte ich gar nicht gedacht.
Die Datenbank hilft enorm!
Besser geht nur das Buch vom Prof. Haevecker -aber das ist wohl vergriffen.
Schöne Zeit wünscht
Botho

Razzda
yes -the link from Uwe is the best!

Hello Razzda

Wen you the three issues are downloading you can more about Wiking models in scale 1: 200 read.
Unfortunately only in German.
But there are translation programs as I also use.

Greetings Uwe
