I believe that this is the last set from the January delivery, which was ordered as a special commission and is now in the Hiriart regular catalog as set 1366 MONTENEGRIN INFANTRY, 1910, wearing uniforms from the Balkan War in 1912. The order included five of these sets for Bob, Brian, Fred, Julian, and me.

The Montenegrin infantry and the Chilean lancers are really beautiful looking sets. The Montenegrin uniforms are simply outstanding. -- Al

Thanks Al, I couldn't agree more. The high level of detail on the Montenegrins is an unexpected bonus for those of us who like exotic, rarely seen toy soldiers.
