I had some other sets by Kingcast, but I sold them off over time. I have been a toy soldier collector since the end of 1991. By 2000 I have mainly purchased King & Country sets.
But, I still have the two Kingcast sets I liked best. Namely, Kingcast set K53 or BI-124 of a British Army Gatling Gun crew with two elephants one of which is "splayed" and being unloaded by three British Army soldiers. Each elephant has an Indian Army driver. At least 8 to 10 years back I got an offer of $700.00 from a collector in California, but I decided to keep it.
The other set I have kept for many years is Kingcast, Ltd. KLE-1. A limited Edition set number 34 of 250. The name of this set is "Saving the Colours at Isandhlwana" on 22 January 1879 in Zulu land.
A Peter Cowan as I remember it terminated Kingcast, Ltd in about 1994, but stayed in the toy soldier business after 1994 perhaps to the present time. These two Kingcast sets are among my very favorite, especially the dual elephant set.
I Purchased both of these Kingcast sets in the mid 1990s from my then local dealer Bill Schommer of the Toy Soldier Shoppe in Brookfield, WI. Please see three photos attached below.
Please feel free to post any photos you may have of other Kingcast sets that other collectors may still have now.
