Very nice Brad, I think I spot a strong Britains Herald look about at least two of them :wink2:

Thanks Martyn. That wouldn't be surprising as in the early days they freely took from other companies.

The bugler and Officer were the two I had had Herald versions of back in the day. Herald versions often turn up on Ebay......not so K&C

Thanks for posting the pictures^&cool

Love the RHA gun team, but its not Napoleonic !!!

Could be Crimean War, up to 1900's.

Here it was posted and here it will stay ^&grin

It's the Kings Troop RHA. Andy never said in the old brochures that it was Napoleonic but I always assumed it was and you know what happens when you assume.

Thanks for the information John.

Re: King & Country Glossy Napoleonics Collection

A few little inaccuracies involved here folks, re: "King's Troop" - though a beautifully made set, for sure:

"The King's Troop" - was known before it came into existance as "The Riding troop" RHA - and was changed at the suggestion of King George VI.

My grandfather - who rode the lead horse - and was injured during WW1 at that task - would have loved it, I'm sure!:salute::

Re: King & Country Glossy Napoleonics Collection

Hi John,

Agree, and after a closer look at the artillery piece, it is a Breach Loader. And further more, typical of the early years of the breach-loading era, before rifled small arms and improved sharpnel shells forced the adoption of Shields.....
