Thank you, Martyn it was quick !
Have you found them in early catalog you were taking about? How does the numbering system work? Set#A.26----------- Officer standing with drawn pistol ... does it mean that only one figure was in the set?
Could you do your "id-magik" on Afgans as well, please....
The London show? sure ...but c'mon I think that you guys cleaned it up pretty well already I will be lucky to find just a few civilian figures there

Sure thing, but these are all Pathan/Afghans, no Dervish
Top row, left to right, set#s
A.43
A.45
A.47
A.53
Bottom row, left to right, set#s
A.56 x2
A.49B
Last figure is a tricky one, looks like a very early Afghan chieftain from TD8 holding a telescope instead of binoculars
All the A prefix sets were available as single figures, no boxes
All the info found in the “worth their weight in gold” very early catalogues

Actually, Martyn, the third set of three soldiers with the yellow flash on their turbans belong to the 1st Sikhs in the Boxer Rebellion series; BS15, BS16, or BS16A. Notice the slate grey bases.

Thanks Dave, my catalogues, in the main, are pictureless and I'm going by written descriptions

No problem, Martyn. I just want to see my beloved Boxer series get the lovin' they deserve. I'm sure they'd be the Merwara Infantry if the bases were painted green.

Hi martyn, thanks for clarifying that the afghan figures i have kneeling and firing on the long skinny bases are trophy. As for the 3 indians with grey bases , i have a couple sets of indians on grey bases and still do not know for sure what is boxer and what isn't. Too many variations

Hi Hawkeye
The set description for the Boxer Rebellion states khaki
You could order the set from the "INDIAN ARMY or NWF " series in khaki or blue

My set which has a green base for NWF, but box says Boxer Rebellion. Maybe we should trade sets!
