Since I collect British Army glossies, these guys are all a little "off-topic" for me. The story is a oft-heard one, that a friend of mine who collected toy soldiers with me lost interest and I ended up mingling his collection with mine. His was a bit more eclectic than mine, thus I ended up with these sets, but not a lot of info as to their origin; guesswork is involved.
I'll be grouping them in a following thread, as all the (admittedly marginal) photos would tend to fill the page of a single message far too full for convenience; I hope this is OK with all who look.
Lastly, I am looking for glossies of just about any period of history of the British Army. I favour band and marching sets, though am certainly open to diorama sets. Appreciated here are everything from Britains through Imperials, Frontline, Traditions, Blenheim, older K&C. I am, however, limiting myself to glossy finish. Particular wants would be the Britains King's Troop RHA gun set brought in a few years ago, some more Blenheim Zulu War figures to flesh out my basic set, marching modern Guards (w. bullpups) to grow the Guards Division a bit, all in all, I'm pretty easy to tempt!
I'd love more info on what these are, should you know more than I (which is quite possible!), even if you have no interest in actually acquiring them, and will also cheerfully entertain offers to buy, should you feel you have no swapping fodder. I'm afraid Paypal didn't work out for me; not as secure as they profess, I'm afraid, so MO's will have to suffice if buying. I am in the US, so would like to limit things to US domestic mails, though I can be open to overseas dealings if the mechanics stay simple enough for me to grasp.
Anyway, I hope this is at least interesting.
Thanks for looking.
