Thanks Martyn. Looks like the seller has divvied up the two figures into separate auctions.

Hi Brad, actually a number of figures in that set, I have a single what looks like ol Free French Flute player.

Hi Brad and Tom

The original catalogue description reads

OLD SOLDIERS OF THE QUEEN - MK11

We have had so many requests to replace Set C1 that we now offer the MK11 set

The four piece street band - "OLD SWEATS" - busking for their living on the streets

A one armed chap plays the Cornet, the fellow with the concertina is obviously Ex-Catering Corp, his companion with the banjo appears to have left the Queen's service intact, the same can't be said for the fellow rattling the collection box - did he leave his leg in Khartoum or Kabul?

Cheers

Martyn

Martyn,
Your are right: this set is a replacement for older C1 set.
I enclosed its picture.

Someone has just listed a Citadel piper figure made by Maison Militaire on eBay which I would probably buy if I didn't already have two. One thing I noticed, however, is that compared to the ones I have the painting, as far as I can tell, is not as good: the right eye seems like just a dot and the figure looks like it's wearing lipstick.

Maybe he is don,t ask and don,t tell

I took a look at the picture of the Citadel "bad" piper sold at eBay for $104. Quality is terrible in my view in compare to originals. I guess we all might need to thank owner of Maison Militaire for NOT mass producing Trophys from the castings he got from Len. ^&grin
Just my 2 cents.

Amen to that Alex....if that figure is anything to go by :wink2:

I was about to post something similar. Look at his right eye and lips. That is just awful. I told Alex I could probably do a better job and I have no talent. The painting on the ones I received from Martyn was much, much better.

For anyone wanting to see better closeups, here is the auction, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trophy-Mini...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
