So Mike I guess it's hard to know if my three Scot Greys are pre-war or post-war. I thought they were Britains Ltd. X series. Fixed arms,no trademark,one eared horse. There is no logo which I read in the book that Britains did not put logos on the X series stuff. With that said, I just now...

Thanks you again Mike. I don't know how you can remember all this stuff, I have to write it down. It's good to know what I have. I appreciate the help.Tom

Mike, no problem. I appreciate the information on those Johillco figures. I pretty much only have Britains and bought this set before I decided to try to collect only Britains. Thanks again.

Oh man!! I forgot. Here it is.

Just saw this for sale online, titled Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. I've been trying to identify some of my soldiers by looking at the real life British Cavalry etc. and have only found black horsehair plumes on the Farriers of the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards). You think this is an error...

It's hard to tell. Mine is at the top of this page, two images. It's cantering not at a gallop too so hard to tell when your images show them in harness and the front one is galloping. My guy is missing a plume on the hat I believe. I'm guessing mine is pre-war. I find it discouraging when in...

Thank you David

I have not seen any of "The Great Book of Britains: 100 Years of Britains Toy Soldiers, 1893-1993" for less than $50.00, most are close to $100 and some over that. At this point of my retirement it's too much. Maybe I'll find a beat up edition for $20 some day. His latest, "Britain's Toy...

Hello Norman, I have been posting images of some Britains Ltd. soldiers I have on this forum for identification but haven't had much luck. It was suggested I Private message you about them. If you are willing to look at what I have I can post images here or through regular email. My email is...

Brad, Thank you so much, yes it does help a lot. I was just looking up Opie's other books and was thinking the one you mention would help me more, I'm going to try to find it at a more reasonable price. I will also check out the Joplin book and try a Private Message to him. Thanks again for all...

Thank you paxtoysoldier, I appreciate the help.

First I'm wondering if I'm posting on the wrong forum for the information I'm looking for. Is there only a small percentage of Britains collectors that collect pre-war and earlier on this forum who would be able to help me with identification? I get a lot of views but only one of two responses...

I just realized I forgot to post these last two soldiers! Getting confused. These two are similar to the single guy that has shiny paint that I thought is from the 60's. The only difference is they have black bases. I read that this base color change was due to the figures now being used to...

Is there a way to edit a posts after you post it? When I describe the "next two" after the Highlanders I was talking about images 0427 and 0429, not the two images of the single soldier. I describe that one in my last paragraph. I had also put the two images of the Highlanders together, don't...

I posted these pictures on General Matte Discussion a while ago not knowing where to post it. I thought I would move it here hoping it will get more attention. I know these soldiers are Johillco Guards and Lifeguards. Are these all part of the Household Guards in winter uniforms? The following...
