Lovely set.

Thanks Martyn, Al, Mike and Damian. With Martyn's special commission sets and this one, it is really fun to see what else Len created that never made the catalogue.

Hi Tommy,

This is an awesome Trophy "combo" set. The Trophy label is unique too with the set name and number BCX No.3.

Thanks very much for sharing.

Cheers, Raymond.:smile2:

Thanks Martyn. 14 years later in 1994, Len made this set and the two invoices show 22 figures in each set without any description. There is a wounded Coldstream Guard on a stretcher that I couldn't fit in the photo.tallison@koyote.com
