You wont go wrong with Little Legion Dervishes. The Trophy stuff is getting hard to find. If you look in the Trophy thread you will find some images of Trophy Dervishes

Mister Dave: Welcome to forum and your pictures look nice. Thanks for posting. I have some sets of Fusilier Dervishes I bought from Paul years ago. I wonder if Fuslier still makes those sets? They are has good as my Trophy figures. Leadmen

I will have to look for those on my next trip down to Milwaukee. He does have a nice case of Fusilier/Tommy Atkins stuff, but I think it is largely WWI which I won't allow myself to collect (it's hard and getting harder every day). I haven't purchased any Fusilier guys because the scale on those seems to be a little smaller than the rest of my things. How do your Fusilier dervishes look next to a Frontline or Trophy figure? Thanks for the tip.

I really enjoy the FF glossies. Thank you for posting the pictures.

You're welcome, that is my biggest set in the photos. I have smaller collections of Gordon Highlanders, Coldstream Guards, and 93rd Highlanders from Crimea from FF. The details on the Kilt wearing figures are really nice on these.

I have the opportunity to buy some Royal Marine Light Infantry figures from FF's Egypt series. I won't be able to see them before buying, but this is a reliable guy from whom I've purchased some nice things in the past. By any chance does anybody have images of these guys to share, as I've never seen them before.

Hi Dave,

I thought the two figures on the right were from LS 2, because I have two similar sets from the British Colonial Army - 1880s: YL 2 Yorks & Lancaster Regt and GH 2 Gordon Highlanders. They are holding their rifles with their right hands on the rifle stock just behind the receiver. On the loading sets I thought the figures had their right hand in the air above the receiver as if loading. I could be mistaken about LS 3 though since I don't have that set or the similar YL 3 or GH 3 sets.

I have a large (more than 1,000 figures) Frontline collection. I have know Gerard Prime and the late Howard Swales for more than 10 years. They told me that I was one of their top 3 or 4 non-dealer customers in the world. However, they may just have said that to puff up my ego. I always buy something from them at both the West Coaster and Chicago shows.

I have a number of old price lists and color sheets of their products that I have accumulated over the years. They never had a catalog, per se. But one can also use their web site, assuming the items are not retired, to help identify their figures.

Hi Mike, having reread this thread I notice you mention having a large collection of FF and also of old print material from the company. As I mention in the previous post I am looking for images of the 1880's RMLI figures. Any chance you've got anything I could look at?

Thanks,

David Gray
