Britains set 73 comprised soldiers from 7 different British regiments: including the Black Watch, Norfolk regiment and the Band of the Line:

Also, the 17th Lancers, Life Guards, and Scots Guards

And last but not least the Royal Horse artillery at the walk:

Can't forget the box -- the white carboard is there merely to protect the original box and tie cards from wear and tear.

That's a huge set!

Sixty-seven pieces in all. One of the larger sets Britains made post war.

As you robably noticed -- there are two set 73's displayed. The first 8 photos and the box are of my set. The 10th is of a second set - owned by another collector.

Beautiful set, the figures look almost mint and the box looks in excellent condition. I have the 9000 series box that replaced 73, but unfortunately it didn't come with the figures

 

[Dickbuttons]

The figures are near mint -- because even though there are no scratches, chips, etc, they have been untied from the box. Now, however, they are all re-tied into the box and placed in a cabinet away from the reach of a cat and two little grandsons.

You are an extremely lucky man to own such a set.

 

[Dickbuttons]

Thank you. But all it really takes -- is not luck -- just money!

 

[kilted vampire]

Thank you. But all it really takes -- is not luck -- just money!

Oh. Sure bring up the one thing

 

[Dickbuttons]

It's not just one thing -- it was a whole mess of these little green things, which you fold and place in your wallet.

The way things are going, however, I could trade the set for a few gallons of gas.

 

[DMNamiot]

Hey Richard

Let me know where to send the gas...

Thats really a fantastic set!


All the best

Dave

Echo Dave's and everybody's sentiments. Keeping out of those grandkids is the key. That's a set to be treasured and enjoyed.
