Back with another one. This is one of three I bought last Dec, two of which I gave to my grandson for Christmas. Those two were soldiers with swords and red winter capes, this one was listed as a Commander, not sure if that is correct. He was missing his articulated arm so I made one. His other arm looked like it had gloves/gauntlets and it has a bit of gold color but it may be the trim on his sleeve, I made the glove gold, I thought it looked good, not sure what it would have been. I've been looking online for a similar one with the same headgear and have not found one. Any ideas as to date of manufacture and if it is a Commander of the Kings Life Guard?

For the 42 people who have viewed this post I have found out about this figure. He is a General Staff Officer from set #201, pre-war. Originally he did not have gold gloves, that was my choice but i'm going to change it when I find out if he had gloves or not. I contacted Andy Morant of Andy Morant Vintage Toys on Portobello Rd. London for the help to identify it.
No problem, I appreciate that you thought of me and my inquiry. I've been spending a lot of time searching eBay and such just to see if people are selling what I have and if they list what they are. I came across Andy Morant accidentally so thought I'd just email him. I can't believe how many toy soldiers he has, it's incredible!
Thanks again, Tom

The figure you posted is one of the two Aides-de-Camp in that set, not an officer. That style of horse has become known as the ADC horse when used with other heads, as in the postwar version of set 28's officer.
