Looking for information of this Paxton Sheriff Set of 5 (1 Viewer)

[captainsimos]

I have looked on the net, but haven't been able to find any information about these 5 figures. They stand 2 1/2" and are all signed "Paxton Sheriff 1985" on the bottom. Thank you to everyone that has been so helpful with all my requests.

Hi, Simos!

My first thought is that it's another set from Paxton Sheriff's "Guards & Garrisons" brand depicting troops from the English Civil War. Which particular unit, I won't venture to guess. Someone else may have a better idea of the unit.

Prost!

Beautiful figures with a sumptuous paint job. They could represent Hampdens Regiment. An early war parliamentary (boo hiss ) regiment known, with great originality, as The Greencoats

More information can be found here. Uniforms of the early war were not, well how shall we say, uniform. Cloth would have become in short supply as would dyes and as you can see the soldiers probably had different colour cuffs and in all probability the green of the uniform would have varied as replacement uniforms were procured.
