I know this might be a impossible task, but could anyone give me a quick run down on Royal Marine band set with refeance numbers etc both in plastic and metal.

Britains made three post-war vintage Royal Marine bands - -set no. 1291, set no. 2115 and set no. 2153. All 3 were 12 piece sets and all were made out of lead. I have attahced photos below. (They also amde a larger band set pre-war if you're interested.)







I am not familiar with the plastic sets -- have to ask someone else.

Pre-war, Britains made )also in lead sets 1291 and 1288. Here is a photo of set 1288. (In addition to the plastic sets, Britains has also made a Limited edition Royal Marine Band in their new line).

Also, for information on more recent sets, don't forget to browse through the Britains catalogues which are on the Treefrog site.

Re: Royal Marines bands thank you

Just a quick note to thank you all for all your help, I am trying to buy the Royal Marine sets for my son to set him off on this great hobby, and i like to know the in and outs of what to collect.
The Britians brochure on line are a great help too

So hopefully the next decently priced set that comes my way i will snap up

regards
Andrew
