Early Rosenthal pieces can be quite nice. Although not up to the quality of Allach in many cases. When you dig back 60 years or so, you can find some killer pieces. The Allach squirrel in color will run a couple thousand if you can find one in color. I think I may have seen two of them in the last 10 years.

This particular figure is exceptional, and its early roots and high quality application of paint, brings it into the top tier of porcelain items. Its a great piece and these can be had for a fraction of the cost. Adding items like this with an Eickhorn dagger or with a forestry or hunting theme makes for a well rounded collection.
