An interesting set I have never seen before came on my radar

EQ58 Camel Corps Screw Gun Section in the wonderful Big Box. It could be the Holly Grail of the Trophy Sudan Range

Hi Al

Nice set

It was released at least twice by Trophy. Once under the Trophy banner, as per your set EQ58 and again under the Dragon Crest banner DEQ58.

The set description for both is as follows:

Three camels carrying a 7pdr Rifled Muzzle Loading Screw Gun. An Ammo Camel. A Mounted Bombadier and three mounted Gunners

There was also a smaller set released by Trophy set# SEQ3A – CAMEL SCREW GUN BATTERY which consisted of:

Four camels with British handlers. A detailed Screw gun and ammo supplies

As far as rarity I think it is on a par with the WP set, maybe not as rare ^&grin, I know where there are at least 4 sets of DEQ58/EQ58 , none are for sale though

Cheers

Hello Martyn,
Thank you for in-depth info on the subject. I am sure this set is very desirable in spite of its rarity. I hope this one will land on my lap.
Does the DC version came in BB as well? BTW it could be a good a good idea to start the Trophy BB thread! I always was curious how many sets came in BBs? I have 5 or 6, I believe.

Hi Al

Thought you would like that^&grin

I would imagine the DC version came in a Big Box, but I would not be surprised if it came in the large rectangular box that Trophy tended to use for some of the larger sets, such as the Steam Traction Engine and Elephant drawn artillery

I have a few Big Box sets including 7 or 8 for the Highland Brigade

Other 2 sets from the same source: EW10A THE LIFE GUARDS and EW9A 2nd BENGAL LANCERS.
Tommy posted a photo of the Lancers from his collection in a while ago.

Hi Martyn

I have never seen a single DC BB. I will take pictures of my BBs and then start the Trophy BB thread.
I hope other forum members will contribute to the Trophy BB subject

Good idea Al

I think there were two types of BB sets, official, catalogue listed, BB sets and "special" order BB sets. Just thought I would confuse things^&grin:tongue:
