Hello everybody, I would like to have your support, please.
I was searching for sets from Kingcast, now I got the information from one dealer, that he has some sets still available:
BI 18 7th Bombay Infantry
BA1 5"Howitzer
BA3 6"25Ib Howitzer
BA5 R:H:A: with gattling gun

I have no pictures or any other information about these sets. How many figures are on each set ? Are these sets all Indian Army about 1890 ?
Please give me some more information, pics would be great.
thank you very, very much
Marcus

Hi John, thank you very much for your great information. I took a closer look at your fantastic albums and discovered under "old britains" a King Cast howitzer. Is this one of the items I asked for ?
What in your opinion would be the fair prices for the 4 items, the dealer offered me ?
Btw, in my opinion your Rattrays Sikh Band of Tradition is about 5 classes better painted than the original set from Tradition, which I have in my own collection !
best regards Marcus

Hi Marcus, I cant be sure of todays prices but in the catalogue which I guess is over 10 years old the prices of the artillery sets, are £40.00 GBP each the indian set was £35.00 GBP. I bought mine from MKL at the price Ive given. Thanks for your compliments on the Tradition set, funnily enough Ive just completed a set for another collector.I visited your albums and you have a fantastic collection yourself. Hope this info helps you good luck in getting a bargain. btw the figures in my album with shirt sleeves is BA3 the other pictured is BA 3.

Regards John
