Hi Ana,

Those are beaautiful sets! Thanks for informing us of their availability and for posting pictures of them. At some point in time, I will most certainly include the Silver Horn Band of Cutch in my collection!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

What Pat said goes for me too. It is nice to see Manufacturers posting pictures of there products here. Wish some of the others did as well.

229 - Silver horns band from Cutch, Delhi Durbar, 1903


I just got this set from my friends here at Treefrog. It came with the UPS guy today! It is excellent and well done. Good Contrast while on parade with my other sets. The horns are amazing. Thanks Ana.

This may not be one of the new sets, but I received the Cutch Spear Bearers today. These guys are beautifully done. I am buying Beau Geste Delhi Durbars to enhance my Britain collection and I try to select sets that are completely different (color and otherwise) than anything done by Britains. I have not been disappointed yet. I suppose I should just bite the bullet and order an elephant next. I'm saving my change...

Hi Sreeks,

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Delhi Durbar! I have been fortunate to complete my collection of Britains Delhi Durbar figures/sets and I have been purchasing Beau Geste Durbar sets as my funds allow. I think the Beau Geste figures are magnificent and I intend to add many more over a period of time. I do own some of the Beau Geste elephants and I have no doubt that you will be very impressed with the sculpting, detailing, and painting of these great sets.

If you have the time and inclination, I would love to see some pictures of your Durbar collection. Please keep the rest of us Durbar collectors informed regarding the additions to your collection. Several of us on the forum collect the Durbar and we are always interested in discovering additional Durbar collectors.

Thanks for your post. I enjoyed reading it and learning a little more about your collecting interests!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Hi, Pat,
Thank you for your interest. I just tried to upload some photos and they are too large (jpgs). Does anyone know how I can convert these so I can post them? Thanks for your help.

You can send them to me and I'll take care of it or you can make a photo album, which resizes them to fit the board software and then upload them into a post.

Sorry to sound a bit well dumb but how do you make a photo album. I have given up posting pics on TF because of the size issue I am afraid
Regards

Thanks for the offer. I'll take you up on it, because, I'm with Damian on "making a photo album." Hey, we can't all be computer gurus, can we?

Thanks again, and I'll send you a message.

These are from Jae (Sreeks) and they're really great. Nice display and collection. My compliments.

 

[Sreeks]

Thanks so much for posting those for me, Jazzeum, although I'm not completely happy with the display. I need more display space (although I'm sure this is a problem for most toy soldier collectors). I have had them in their boxes for almost a year trying to figure out how to display them in true parade form. I finally decided it was better to enjoy them out of the box, crowded onto a cabinet, than not at all.

Just FYI... I also collect nineteenth century engraved prints of scenes from India that I am about to have matted and framed to put in the same room. They, also, are works of art. Thanks again for posting those for me!

A very nice a impressive collection you have there Sreeks. Do you have them display on top of one of your maps? or is it a trunk you have them on. Whatever it is, it certainly adds to the collection

Thanks for the pics

Hi Jae,

Thanks to Brad for posting your pictures. I see many wonderful things in those pictures. I see the Hunting Cheetahs, the Silver Gun, the Camel Corps, some elephants, and many other great figures. Yours is a very, very nice collection. Congratulations for gathering such a nice collection and placing them is an exciting display!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Scott, that is a large, stand up trunk/cabinet with two doors and a drawer that is covered in a "leather" reproduction map. It's just a cheap cabinet that I bought to keep board games (and soldier boxes in) and it is about five feet tall. It's the perfect height to display on.

Thanks, Pat. I know I've enjoyed seeing your pictures, as well. Did you notice the Britains 15th Ludhiana Sikhs from 1993 in the foreground? They're the ones with the British flag. That set is a particular favorite of mine. I got it on Ebay a few years ago and would love to find some more from that series but I don't know anything about it. Maybe someone here does?

I also have some other odd (handpainted?) "unarmed" Sikhs near the rear whose arms have fallen off. I have them standing there as spectators with their arms in a pile behind them. I'm going to try to position them back on with some tacky wax when I have time.
