Indian Prince and Falconer hunting party (1 Viewer)

Looking for an official name and/or set number for this group. The only place I've found it so far is on an auctioneer site where they had it listed as an Indian Army Cavalry. That does not seem correct to me. Is it?

This is truly a very nice set which I have never seen before. Thank you for sharing, as for its name or set number I am afraid I can´t help.

I've never seen it, but I'm an amateur. I would be interested to see it identified.

No, it is not. They go with PW 1, Prince of Wales on Elephant. I have them. They have a PW designation but I’m not sure of the number, somewhere below PW 10.

In your photo, the Indian prince in the green tunic, the fan bearer and the other figure is PW 11.

"The other guy"

Taking a stab in the dark and guessing you're referring to the guy between the green prince and the fan bearer. He has a rope lead which I assumed made him a horse han.dler. From your response, I also take it that there's actually 2 sets involved here. Is that correct? I have the elephant too. I saw that it had the Prince of Wales as one of the riders, but, eBay had PW1 listed as Indian Raj on State Elephant.

Yes, there are two sets. The other mounted figure is probably PW 11A. You can’t go by what eBay says. The elephant is Prince of Wales.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. I just located another set in this collection that a well known overpriced seller had listed as an Indian Artillery set and it was most obviously Egyptian. I'm less than a year into this culture and even I was able to point that one out. LOL

Are you referring to Champs and Bums?

 

[DavidChristCollection]

I didn't want to say the name. But, there's a pretty good chance you are correct in your assumption.

 

[jazzeum]

I don’t think Peter will be too concerned.

 

[DavidChristCollection]

Either he has a good sense of humor or he's pretty apathetic about rookies citing him. LOL

Regardless, thanks for the assistance.

Just in case you still haven't identified the picture with the falcons and dogs—these are two sets from Trophy Toy Soldiers of Wales Durbar Indian Army:

• PW10 – Raj & Attendants (Raj on a black horse, one attendant with a falcon, and another attendant with dogs).
• PW11 – Raj on a White Horse with two attendants carrying fans.

Awesome. I had part of that correct. I know someone had pointed out that that was two sets, but, I had the set numbers listed as PW11 and PW11A. And, I wasn't aware of the set names, so, I just had it listed as Princes and Hunting Party. I will update my list to reflect the correct info.
