I think I've identified most of my Boxer Rebellion pieces. Would appreciate if you all could double check my work and let me know if I have anything labelled incorrectly. Thanks

I've spent more time researching and identifying the Trophy pieces in this collection than all the other makers combined. These were obviously Dave's favorites as well. He might have more Britains by volume. But, most of those were still in the box. The Trophy sets were what he preferred to...

I've found that Trophy collectors are fiercely loyal. There's just not a ton of them out there. At least, I haven't found them yet. My marketing strategy is a little different, though. I've avoided eBay. Just seems like a giant pain in the posterior portion. Plus, I've built some cool...

I was starting to think it was just that nobody wanted to talk to the new kid. Hahaha

Looks like my guys. Most of what I saw was discussion about whether the bases were added later. Mine don't have bases. I'll re-read in case I'm missing something that should be smacking me upside the broadside. But, all I got was a confirmation of their name and that they're most likely...

Is that how it worked? I was under the impression that UTF was a predecessor and evolved into Trophy. But, still the rookie in the room here.

There's some debate whether these guys are early Trophy or Under Two Flags. What say you guys?

Either he has a good sense of humor or he's pretty apathetic about rookies citing him. LOL Regardless, thanks for the assistance.

I didn't want to say the name. But, there's a pretty good chance you are correct in your assumption.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. I just located another set in this collection that a well known overpriced seller had listed as an Indian Artillery set and it was most obviously Egyptian. I'm less than a year into this culture and even I was able to point that one out. LOL

"The other guy" Taking a stab in the dark and guessing you're referring to the guy between the green prince and the fan bearer. He has a rope lead which I assumed made him a horse han.dler. From your response, I also take it that there's actually 2 sets involved here. Is that correct? I...

Looking for an official name and/or set number for this group. The only place I've found it so far is on an auctioneer site where they had it listed as an Indian Army Cavalry. That does not seem correct to me. Is it?

Speaking of boxes, let's see if you can answer this riddle for me. I don't understand the set numbers on these. There's two different S1 and S3 boxes. The only difference is that one has the characters separated by dots and one is dashes.

Well, that's a fine how-do-ya-do. There's no others in this collection. Which leads me to another question. Is that an official Trophy box? Or is that possibly something London Bridge may have slapped a sticker on and sold as a set because they didn't have the rest of the actual set? I...

Do these look like your Hussars?

Bonus question ... If you look at my picture with the two Gunga-dins, which one would be the correct match to the mounted Lord Roberts?

Thank you. You prompted me to search with different keywords. Found a couple of them. The 1st is 18053 Colonial Militia Flagbearer #1 Bunker Hill The 2nd is 17745 Flagbearer 2nd PA Regiment Just need the set number and correct description for the 3rd guy.

I'll flip through the book after work and see if I can find any info for you. Might as well get some use out of it. It's not going to help me with my flagbearer. They were released after '93.

What do you consider a reasonable price? I have a copy. It was a SMH moment after I posted looking for information on some Britains flagbearers. LOL. Apparently, I have the answer right under my nose.

Dug out these 3 guys today. There's no box for any of them. Looking for set numbers and/or descriptions. The first two are labelled 2003 on the base with the guy on the right showing 2012. I've had feedback that the guy on the right bears the flag of Inniskilling (27th Foot) at Waterloo...
