Purchased whenI was in Greece a number of years ago.
I think its a really nice set.
The box is a bit bent here and there - but overall in near mint condition.
General discussion and updates on my collection of toy soldiers, being mainly Old Britains and some New Britains. Plus other makers. Special thanks and in memory to Johnnie Somers (RIP), whom passed on a large part of what you'll see to me.
Purchased whenI was in Greece a number of years ago.
I think its a really nice set.
The box is a bit bent here and there - but overall in near mint condition.
Not sure what catalogue/set number these were allocated.
All three are complete - just showing signs of play wear with paint loss.
12 Figures including officer and drummer boy.
Made from metal.
I purchased these as castings and have painted them myself in a gloss old toy soldier style. I suspect they are Prince August molds made from Ireland.
These figures were sold in Europe as part of a weekly/monthly magazine periodical.
All figures are in mint condition -and are painted in Matt - no magazines, just the figures.
If you want to check out the multitude of items done for this publication - please check out the Frontline website - and look for the link to its assocation with Altaya
3 figures - all in mint condition.
These were made by Frontline Figures, in association with Altaya Press in Europe for a weekly or monthly periodical.

60007 - the top one - Sarah in Walking Suit with Straw Boater, 1895
60009 - the bottom one - Ellen in Side Saddle Riding Habit, 1883-1885
Was my attempt to maybe get my wife interested a little ....Fail.
I probably could have photographed these in a way more exciting looking way - i.e. as in a square..alas

One of these is the Britains Collectors club figure, and one is also part of the Musuem Collection.
