Great film and I’m surprised you never saw it too! Dave

Wow this is an interesting move by your government. I didn’t think you all suffered from the issues we seem to enjoy so much in the states. Dave

Those look great! Thanks for sharing Dave

Looking forward to this series! Dave

Hi Folks I agree with you both. I don’t need to elaborate. Now the warning to everyone keep the political nonsense out of this forum and there won’t be any issues. Dave

Hi Guys thanks for the birthday wishes! I had a great evening with family and got some great toy soldiers for the collection! I will post some photos. Dave

Lead paint is hazardous if you eat it or get it into your body thru breathing in the dust made when scraping or sanding. So if you are not handling the paint or removal of paint properly you can get it in your body. But it was also used in house paint before 1978 in the US. I don’t know how...

Those are great! Thanks for sharing them. Dave

Hi Durbarman, I have this set but the box is buried in my storage locker so I can’t find the paper work that accompanied it to try and answer what the MF series was and the number of sets in it. I do have a complete Durbar catalogue from Marlborough but I know you also have that series nearly...

I totally get what you are saying I have a Scottish friend who always says stone for weight which makes me scratch my head. 🤔 I back to the issue of what he has dug up. I’d be able to tell definitively if he had a good shot of the underside of the cartridge case and they were cleaned up but...

Oz you are correct about the marking and metric sizes and coin sizes but I lived over there for nearly 11 years so I have a good idea on the size of the various euros or older coins thus my request for something to give a scale reference. My guess is the rounds are German but that’s just a...

I saw your article in my copy of the Standard and enjoyed it immensely. Great read! Dave

Need something like a coin for scale in those ammunition photos. Then we can say what it is. Dave

Hi Durbarman I hope Pat shows up soon he will truly enjoy your displays. I totally love the variety of animals that you find in the various Durbar lines! I have almost all of the camels from Marlborough and have been looking for a very long time for the Camel Standard Bearers and the Camel...

Hi Durbarman I mentioned you and this thread to Pat Wade. He has been getting a new computer situated so I think he will drop in after Easter weekend. I am having issues with my photos so I’m figuring out what I need to do to resize them properly for them to up load. I probably will get it...

Those look great! Thanks for sharing them. Dave

When you have a chance send me a PM with your email and I will send you scans of the Nostalgia and Star catalogs that I have. I also have a very good Durbar Catalog from Marlborough that includes a lot of high number sets D176 Napiers Rifles Color Party is the last set in the catalog. Dave

Hi Durbarman Your collection looks pretty amazing! I have a lot of the Marlborough figures but not any of the sets you are seeking. Can only advise you keep a sharp eye on eBay and various auction sites. I’m trying to find the sets you mentioned as well as several others so best of luck in...

not sure on the exact number made but it’s pretty scarce, my best guess is less than 50 world wide. As for anyone looking for it, I am. Along with a few other elephants and figure sets. Dave
