Correct

These kinds of figures have never been used with any Trophy ships. Grey bases were usually used for North-West Frontier / Afghanistan figures, and sometimes with Sudan sets.

The red circular badge with a light-colored (likely white) figure strongly resembles the St. Andrew cross motif associated with the Cameron Highlanders.

They are Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

Please help to id the regiment. Thank you/

Great piece—but the sword's slightly bent. Nothing serious, just a little battle fatigue! A quick straightening and it’ll be ready to charge again.

As with any military maneuver, there’s always the risk of casualties — trust me, I’ve seen my fair share of battlefield amputations! But fear not — with a heroic drop of superglue, your brave Mameluke will be back in action and swinging his sword in no time!

I don’t know—I’ve never seen it before. Martyn might know; he was talking about color dots in one of his previous posts. It is DC issue for sure.

Yes, it looks like the later production piece with scenic base made in 2006

This is Set BD 12. Deadly Thrust.

and it is not Testosterone deficiency syndrome :)

I belived they both called FAR

I agree — Len made two versions of the gate, and the later one is definitely a bit better. I have both: one is currently sleeping somewhere in storage, and the other is sitting conveniently in a box on the shelf. I’ll post some photos when time (and motivation) permits! 😄

EL 17T Bedford Forrest Attacking Union Artillery Soldier — what a wonderful piece! I’ve always liked that one. Last time it surfaced on eBay a couple of years ago, it brought around $150… and probably a few broken hearts from underbidders. 😄
