Hi fellow collectors,
I Bought this lot thinking they were Britains (They looked like the Britains fox hunt I already had).
But when i came home i realised that non of them are marked. So now I am not sure what they exactly are.
Does anyone know more about the maker and year of production.
Kind regards
Elvis

Welcome to the forum!

They're definitely not Britains. The horses are in a different style of sculpt, as are the riders, from Britains' fox hunt figures. Yours are a little stockier, a little beefier, than Britain's. Are these hollowcast or solid?

Can you post some more pictures, with some closeups of all of the figures? It's hard to see the hounds from the image you've uploaded. It would help to see all of these from some different angles.

As far as other possible makers go, I'm looking through my copy of Richard O'Brien's "Collecting Foreign-Made Toy Soldiers", starting with other British hollowcast makers. I haven't seen anything like these in the chapters on any of the other British makers O'Brien included in the book: Charbens, Cherilea, Crescent, Johillco, Taylor & Barrett, or Timpo, neither pictures nor descriptions in the text. I'll have to go deeper into my reference library.

Prost!

Those horses look like Trophy of Wales horses to me. Ask Martyn if Len made a fox hunt set.

Hi Louis

Looks like the figures are from the Trophy/Dragon Crest set "The Stirrup Cup", set# DC9

Here is a picture of Tommy Allisons set
