Britains Set # 1603 (1 Viewer)

[Cardigan600]

Yo Troopers, very pleased to add this set Britains # 1603 Republic Of Ireland Infantry to the collection, you may or not know this set came out in 1950, before this the set was known as The Irish Free State Infantry, but owing to Ireland being declared a Rebulic in 1949 Britains had to change the title. I bought the 8 figures without the box, but as luck has it I aquired the box today, so the set should look like this next week when I tie them in. I am still looking for a tie card for seven or 8 infantry for a Roan box for my Irish Guards set, did put an add in the Classified but not many Old Britains people about on this forum, so if you have a spare tie card, lets hear from you Troopers.

Nice set!
It's a shame there's only a few Irish related products on the toy soldier market.

Wow Bernard,

Very cool pick up!!!

Talk to dickbuttons and see if he has a source for tie cards or ROAN boxes. I see them on ebay from time to time but nothing readily available.

Great set all the same!


All the best!
