Dear Peter:
King & Country (K&C) started production in 1984. I got my first K&C sets in circa 1992. I sold my early 1990's figures that I had on ebay starting in late 2004 & have since replaced all the old K&C sets from the 1990's with newer K&C productions since 2004. Based on my early 1990's purchases of K&C I would have to say these are not K&C figures.
But, Andy Neilson of K&C could advise on this question with 100% correctness I am sure.

Dear Brad & Peter:
Wow, these are K&C figures?! I'll take your word on it based on the reply back by Brad noted above. The K&C stamp on the bottom of the base looks real enough I have to say. But the paint job on the figures shown do not look near as good as the ones I had obtained new back in very early 1990's. I guess it just shows how much K&C has improved over the years!

Thank you for the reply (everyone who replied-THANKS). The info is greatly appreciated. Any idea what year these were produced?
I would love to see any photos that you can post.
I'd like RA 1 and RA 2...

I don't collect K&C glossy figures. I do collect Hocker & Imperial soldiers. For the time being, I am going to hold on to them. At some point, I will more than likely keep one of each for myself and sell/trade the others. I already have one trade offer that I am considering.
I actually searched Sager's site and did not see those. Thank you for the link!

Peter,
Here is the set you purchased.
It's set PB 1. This photo comes from a special brochure called The King & Country Collection, circa 1991. It had 10 different cards in it and one of them featured the Pipes and Drums sets, both in Khaki Foreign Service order of 1st/2nd Btns (the Seaforth Highlanders) and in Red Home Service dress with white helmets.
By the way, this special brochure is not on the Sager site. I have only seen this one time on eBay and I don't believe Louis has it although Lawrence may. It's quite a rare brochure.

Peter,
Congratulations on finding this set! As Brad correctly noted, this is an early k&c set. It should come in a blue box with a certificate, but I have seen some without. The same set was also available in red as opposed to the khaki. Again, congrats and I hope you keep the set together. Lawrence

I did not realize that it was a complete set. I am going to keep all the figures together.
Unfortunately, I purchased the set unboxed.
I want to thank everyone for the info that has been provided. Two thumbs up!
Peter
