K & C identification marks (1 Viewer)

[bermuda]

Why to some early K & C figures have the initials marked on their base and some do not? For example I have some black uniformed LHD figures- the Officer saluting has but the troops presenting arms don't. Also my Seaforth highlanders are mark less. How do I prove that they are King & Country. Thanks for any help.

If you post pictures or send me pictures, there are a few members like Louis or myself who should be able to help you identify whether or not they are K & C.

Thanks Brad- not very technical with posting pictures- I know that they are K & C(seen them in brochures & know where I bought them from) just never been able to understand why some had marks & others did not. Another example is my Indian orderly kneeling with wounded private- regards

You can send the photos to me at blewin2222@aol.com and I can post them and share them with Louis as he is the expert. I'm sure he knows about the marks as well.

Hey Bermuda,
Sometimes when companies are just starting out they don't think to mark their figures or have enough other start-up costs that they don't get a special die or stamp to mark their pieces. For instance I don't think current Honour Bound figures are marked on the bases, although they may have recently begun doing so.
There is at least one current K&C figure I can think of right now that isn't marked because it doesn't have a base. Can't remember which one it is off hand but I noticed it last week when setting up a display. So sometimes they aren't marked because there is no where to put a mark.
Hope this helps a bit,
