This is or was, nearly the exact same sum my wife and I paid for buying the former Abraham Simon FLEURBAIX TOY Soldier Business in 2023. So this sum of Len's would after all be "about right" for a Business like that. Its really just too bad TROPHY are gone.

Lens final Accounts state his Business was worth the value of around 36 926 STERLING. Of which all the total 36 926 were "shareholders funds"...... This strongly implies a form of Bankruptcy or financial setback took place, as the toal of all company funds are shareholders Money, and this is...

In fact, in the final striking OFF of the Limited Company TROPHY MINIATURES, the final GAZETTE states that all company property will be Legaly held as "Bona Vacantia" which to the uninitiated, means Property now of the United Kingdom Government. It is rather odd, because after re starting...

When I was bidding to buy SARUM SOLDIERS (Chota Sahib and Studio Figurine) back in 2008/9 I placed a Bid for Trophy Miniatures of Wles, for whom I was a Painter. However, due to Legal complications over family business (The Family we call it the Family) elsewhere, i was unavailable the hour for...

Though after day 10 of the operation at Arnhem with all drop re supply overun by enemy forces, they certainly would have made use of the captured German weapons, but not I feel the American issue Colt 1911 sidearm pistol

Some very nice Models here, I do like the British Paratropers and Infantry from 30 Corp. However, the Manufacturer needs to make urgent Inventory, because British paratrooper Master Sergeant, and Soldiers, did not carry as a equiped weapon the Colt Model 1911 Pistol sidearm, and not the German...

The Armoured Car Reconnaisance Units, all two of them, were intercepted very early on and destroyd by Ambushes from the Waffen SS. They did NOT take part in any of the Battle....The special Jeeps fitted with Twin Machine guns did not make it there either, being wrecked in a Glider crash (its in...

The above photograph of the "Paratrooper Master Sergeant" with a Pistol, a nice enough model i do say, err however....he is carrying as a weapon clearly the AMERICAN COLT Mark 1911 sidearm pistol. As far as we are aware, THESE WERE NEVER EVER ISSUED TO BRITISH Ranks in the Arnhem Operation. A...

The British Paratroopers, featured in several of the above photgraphs, "THERE HAS BEEN A VERY SERIOUS "MISTAKE"....a lot of the Models are carrying a version of the German MP 38 or MP40. Early in Battle like this it should be the Thomson Sub Machine Gun or Lee Enfield etc and the Bren...

It is to us as the very sad and sorry owners of the rubbish Abraham Simon of FBTS sold us, that the photos were dark because the guy was likely scamming you all. Ive found SARUM Soldiers Castings hidden among his stuff "sold to us", seen Sarum figures hes not meant to have owned for sale...

Only VERY FEW orignal DJ Love Mountford Masters survive. Rosedale is a nightmare, with REMAKE Moulds in most instances. A.S "sold" us NOT ORIGINAL tools but remake tools made not by the original makers he bought from, but from A N OTHER (likely Father Gregg after his "fire") . Large scale parts...

If my wife and I had been aware of all of this before we paid to buy the Ranges from Abraham Simon and FBTS, to be quite candid, I would NEVER have bothered paying the Euros 30 000 (+ 5 k Import tax) we paid for all of it. I have learned from my own checking up on them, of which we have done...

Voila avec le premier place Libere dans la France de D Day, le Cafe GONDRE le autre cote de cette pont... HORSA Gliders after the battle at the Orn Canal and Caen river Bridges. Normandie 1944

Crazy but true, if it were built and they wanted to fly it today, the C.A.A would NOT grant them a Licence of Airworthiness to a Horsa.... I always felt the Horsa was the best of the three main Allied Gliders, the US WACO G4 Glider had a nasty habit of turning nose upside down on landing....

Amazing thing the HORSA. The DH Mosuito was not the only "wooden wonder" of the War... It carried out the finest piece of operational flying of the entire war, by landing within fifty yards of the enemy positions at the Orn Canal bridge in the dead of night before D Day....and the enemy new...

Nice to see a Horsa, and glimpse the Armstrong Whitworth Albermarle (??) or is it a Mitchel?? towing aircraft, rarely seen in 1/32 Scale. There was NO US support, but only indifferent support for Bernard Law Montgomerys operation. And the Radio crystals were the wrong type, leading to NO radio...

A couple of folks have been asking me about the price for our un painted Metal castings. We inherited a difficult task from Abram Simon, due to a number of Moulds being "Re makes" and NOT true original toolings (in some not all cases) and also a number of Moulds being DUPLICATE Copies with only...

"SITZ KRIEG" We are taking a planned pause, a stop from casting and working on the Business for several weeks to make physical improvements to the workplace during the dry warmer Summer weeks here. I'm having some new plumbing, electrics and decorating done to brighten up the ambiance and make...

I had a message from a Forum Viewer, re this E Mail. chevalliermaxime799@gmail.com You can contact us re what we have available and are prepared to cast up. I have tested it and it DOES work. , and the customer actualy got through fine this time. If you anyone else has found their mail or...

Colourful Photographs......but rather "one sided" I think....Be nice to see more of the American and British Defenders and not just the Waffen SS and K G Joachim Peipers unit......who have infamous memory in the war....
