Methinks, Rob, that you may have solved the riddle of the K&C, UK secret line! Or maybe the Nevilles really were pirates!

Louis

Some people say that the way dad trades in Old K&C he is a pirate!!! (i just made Mike cough on his Biscuit!!!LOL )

Rob you sure it was a skull and cross bones you saw???

Tony

 

[Rob]

Hello
I hope you find my Engliish not bad I a first commer to this please do not be angry my English. I collect East of India but change to splendid fine King and country thre years ago. I live Hong Kong a few years but come from Taiwan where my factory is making christmas trees. very very good business.
I like very much pirates and understand from my frend in china that some sample of pirates and a big big ship were made I can not find on the king county site
thankyou you very much.

 

[mitch292]

well that may have put the mystery to sleep.

Welcome aboard Ben,

Your friend is correct. A few years ago Andy Neilson of K&C bought the rights to produce some pirate characters from a book or movie (I don't remember which), and he had prototype figures as well as a wonderful wood pirate ship, based on a model of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind, produced. I begged Andy to put the ship and figures into production, and when he wouldn't, tried desperately to purchase the prototypes, without success. But I am fairly sure this is not what the new K&C, UK series will be.

Regards,

Louis

 

[mitch292]

ok well if it is not pirates (like many other members) I will be happy

 

[Ben Choi]

also i have Germans i like germans as well as pirates i not now the english name but they had some germans who had the pirate sign on them......this might be the sign. sorry my english

 

[Louis Badolato]

Ben,

I think you mean the SS. K&C makes both Waffen SS (the fighting kind in camouflage uniforms) and Liebstandarten Adolf Hitler (the parade kind in black uniforms).

 

[Ben Choi]

yes yes maybe a now line of these germans? Ben

 

[Ben Choi]

高有是任何一个在他们的这个论坛之外从收集国王和国家的台湾或中国? I want to see if there are other collectors of fine King and country from China. Ben

 

[Ben Choi]

这是这不是海盗的羞辱, 这能是 ss 并且第17 Lancers 如同他们全都使用头骨和十字架并且去骨第17 lancers 会是意想不到的。
if no pirates or ss what about the Lancers that Mr Rob mention?

Welcome to the forum Ben,hope you enjoy.Looking forward to the new UK series whatever it is.I think i'll stop guessing now as i must be testing Tony's patience!.Not long until the show/evening in London now,can hardly wait.

Rob

 

[Tony Neville]

Rob / Guys

Not testing my patience at all i cannot wait to show it off, Andy and teh K&C team have done a sturling job.

Just thinking the Neville family roots are from Portsmouth so maybe we are pirates!! or at least there is a naval connection.

Tony

Just thought of something not likely to be right, but when he said he may have a naval connection I got to thinking and I seem to rember on some royal navy officer insignias and such there is a crown with a cannon and sword under it. It looks a little like the skull and cross bones, I have not had a long time to look at the image on the K&C UK website but it was just a thought.

I popped by the K&C UK warehouse today on the way home They have made the warhouse storage huge and that delivery they got in on Monday was massive. When you see it all together like that made me glad that i only collect WWII and the Crusaders. If you took one of everything it would be a nightmare.

Tony was really buzzed by the Pictures from Andy of their new range. I guess i have not joined their 'inersanctum' yet as he nearly bursting to tell me but stayed strong. I may have to get him down the pub to find out!!

He could'nt even show me the Polo shirts for the launch because he said they have writing on the back as well. I will go for it mostlikly as it is a start of a range and i can get it from number one like the Crusaders.

regards

Jake (Monty)

Looking forward to the range even though i dont know what it is.
