I wish, but think not. The WB Museum figure is the only one I can think of. I used to have a couple of nice sets of Trophy BW from this period.

TheTrophy BW column figures are gloss. I have quite a few. I don't know of many matte figures availible for the Boer war

Alexander's Toy Soldiers have "A gentleman in khaki", and Rank and File produce several Boer War figures including a mounted and dismounted female figure who rode with the commando. Tradition also have Boer War figures in their range. Most of the British makers will supply figures in matte finish if you ask them, they are pretty flexible in this respect.

Back when 4mil models was in business, I bought some sets of khaki clad Boer war troops that were sold under the Barracks brand. As I recall they had a significant number of troops, both foot and mounted. Not sure what happened to them but perhaps our UK friends might know. Also I believe Mountford did some Boer gun crews.

Barracks was purchased by a company which I think was called Last Stand Models. I am not too sure about the name, but it was something along those lines. Whatever, the company has slipped off the radar and word is that the owner has re-enlisted in the Army and is at present in Iraq. Barracks range consisted of a large number of Zulu War figures and North West Frontier, the latter, of course, doubling up for the Boer War. They are all unobtainable at the moment. Mountford had a gun crew of Boers manning a "Long Tom" and a British pompom with a crew relaxing around it. There was also some naval figures pulling a gun. Rank and File should be able to supply the guns and crews.

I found some of the Boer War Items online at a company called Paul Bacon Diecasts in the UK.
