Larry,

I recently received a figure in the same regimental colors as your last photo and Martyn identified them as Royal Sussex.

Thanks Brad. I have seen them listed as Lincolnshire and so was not sure.

Scots Guards - Not sure what set number - anybody know?

 

[boerboy]

Not sure of the set number or regiments for these sets: Green Howards, 66th Berkshires, Royal Sussex

I am not aware that Trophy has ever made Green Howards, this regiment looks look like my favorite King Rifles (green jackets):salute::

Tommy,
Have been trying to figure this out and can't come up with a definitive answer. From what I can gather, the following is a list of MG sets:

EQ6A - Maxim Gun on Infantry Carriage - Detailed Maxim Gun mounted on a wheeled carriage with hinged lids. A three man crew is included
EQ18A - Gardener Gun - Gardener Rapid Fire Gun mounted on a carriage. Three man crew is available as the Camel Corps or Conn Rangers
EQ37 - Gatling Gun and Crew - Gatling Gun mounted on a heavy carriage similar to a field Gun. Ammo boxes mounted on each side of the gun have detailed opening lids. This set has a Naval Crew, consisting of one Officer and two sailors
EQ44 - Gatling Gun and Crew - Same as EQ37 but has a Military Crew, including a seated Private to fire gun, one Private standing with spare magazine and an Officer with binoculars
EQ49 - Nordenfeldt Machine Gun - A multi-barrelled gun mounted on an infantry carriage with a three man crew including an officer
EQ50 - Maxim Gun Detachment - American Maxim Gun mounted on a tripod with two man crew and ammo box
EQ52 - Same gun as EQ49, but with a Naval Crew

From this list, the only possible one is EQ6A, but the description calls for a wheeled carriage with hinged lids. No hinged lids on the sets I photographed, but don't know if this description in the catalogue was incorrect?

Sadly, I do not have any original boxes, but all the figures are stamped with the Trophy mark. Any info, help or guesses appreciated.

Hi Lawrence

Set# EQ44 - GATLING GUN

The Scots Guards are armed with a Gatling Gun in your set, this is an early version of the Trophy Gatling gun which features a ACCLES DRUM from 1883, the drum looks like a giant doughnut for want of a better description. Trophy changed the drum to the earlier, more practical BROADWELL DRUM in later sets, this drum looks like a small barrel. The sets with this drum are a more accurate example of the Gatling in use by the British Army in the late 1800's

Hope this helps

Cheers

Martyn

Martyn,
Thanks for clearing that up! Have another question for you. Are the regiments I photographed correct for the Green Howards, 66th Berkshire and Royal Sussex? Thanks for all the help. Lawrence
