Need Help Identifying Set(s) (2 Viewers)

[jazzeum]

Martyn,

It is the one on ebay. I don't want to bid on it unless I know it's Trophy.

Thanks.

Can someone tell me if this is Trophy. I'm just wondering because of the base and because my knowledge of Trophy is poor. Thanks. I can get you more photos if necessary.

Dear "Jazzeum":
I was a big time Trophy buyer from about 1992 to 1999. Of those later years Trophy did use oval bases with "diorama" material on them. It looks like a Trophy figure to me. The underside of base would show thier "TM" Trophy Miniatures trade mark if it is a real trophy figure. I can not be 100% sure without seeing the underside of base.
Best regards, "Iron Brigade" 2/25/2010

Brad,
It is a Trophy CW figure, from the "late period". Comes out of Mike Laeding's?
Good luck on the bidding!
Mike

Thanks guys, appreciate the experts helping me out. I was just looking at the Trophy listings and I see there are two now being sold: one in the UK and one in the US; I think the one Martyn was looking at was the US auction.

What is confusing is when Trophy started their Dragon Quest series, which seemed like reissued early sets on scenic, oval bases...I must admit the revamped bases were eye catchers..Michael

Michael,
It is interesting you say that. For some reason I have always shied away from the newer oval bases and preferred the plain rectangular ones. I think it was the 1985-1995 vintage, although I am not sure.

That's right Brad, both look good

Al,
Great sets! The first photo is of WW2 (Wild West Series) "The Fur Trapper." It looks complete except the description calls for a "pile of pelts" along with the blanket covered in other trade goods. Martyn probably knows for sure. I thought i could help identify that Sudanese Infantry set, but my catalog does not have it in it. Other sets look real early. Thanks for the photos.

John is quite right, set#WW2 should have "A pile of pelts" to make it complete.

Thank you guys,
Will check of a missing piece... Any idea about regiments on other photos?

Al,
Martyn knows the set #s on the Natal Mounted Police riders and dismounted!

First off, I love Martyn's graphic on the "Pile of Pelts." Indeed there can be no more doubts! Like Mike said the other two matching sets are the Natal Mounted Police. The dismounted kneeling firing set looks similar to TD#A "Patrol Under Attack" however there are none of the cool prone horses.

Fourth---figures from set#TD3/TD3A “Patrol under attack” NATAL MOUNTED POLICE, minus their horses
Fifth---No idea

Thanks as always to Master Martyn for taking the time and energy to help us out! I think the bottom pic is of the famed King's Royal Rifle Corps post amalgamation for the Sudan War(s). Trooper may be able to help?

These guys are later period dress...I'm thinking '82 time period with the black/green uniform with black valise equipment. I can't figure out the green patch on the sun helmet though.

I'm steering towards the early Sudanese "rescue" period
