Help ID Maker "ER" two ACW Figures (1 Viewer)

[captainsimos]

Still going through large lot of toy soldiers and ran across these two figures. Both are marked "ER" on the bottom, but I am unable to find a maker with those initials If anyone knows who made these figures please let me know. Thanks again for all the help and Stay Well.

They really look to me like Holger Eriksson sculpts, particularly the horses. I have a mounted Sikh officer, which is an Eriksson casting, and the horse is virtually identical. But I don't recall that any form of Eriksson's work had "ER" inscribed under the bases. His work either had, "SAE", "HE" (as a conjoined monogram), or "EIRE", for the castings produced in Ireland. I have a copy of "The Toy Soldier Artistry of Holger Eriksson" by Lou Sandbote, Norman Joplin, and Philip Dean. I'm looking through it now, to see if I can find any info about it. But tentatively, I think these are Eriksson castings.

Prost!
