Martyn has some great close up photos of BBA1-Battle of Buena Vista. For those of you who have this set or wanting to collect it or add to it, there are individual sets to look out for, such as US1-American Artillery Battery and MAW1-Urgent Dispatch. Also, MAW2-with Bayonet and Carbine and MAW3 Mexican Volley. There is a Trophy of Texas special commission -TT20-Old Rough and Ready-Zachery Taylor.
 
Thank you for bringing this thread back to life Tommy{bravo}}:salute::

Cheers

Enjoyed this thread Martyn (thanks, Tommy).

Wish I could find some of those figures. Great stuff.

Cheers,
 
One of the best Mexican war sets ever made, I sadly missed it at eBay last year when Mike Norris sold his set by BuyItNow :(

I picked up this box yesterday and will try to get photos on later this week. Interestingly, the box cover is different (non-descript) and it actually came with two certificates (obviously an error), numbers 15 and 16.

Excellent news Brad {bravo}}

Please include pictures of the box top.

Can I assume the 2 certificates are identical except for their numbers?

Cheers

Martyn:)
 
Martyn,

Yes, they are, and on the same piece of paper. They probably forgot to cut the piece of paper into two separate certificates.

Do you know how many sets were made and sold. Since you have number 25, I'm assuming at least that number.

hi tommy, i have never seen the zachary taylor figure, could you post a picture of him?
 
with the recent sales of alamo or mexican war sets on ebay i was wonder how rare those sets are? 279.99 for a new orleans grey set
199.99 for the volley set and 179.99 for the texian flag bearer. Those prices seem high, they can't be as rare as the ww1 turkish sets.
does anybody know?

You don’t see the Mexican War too often on eBay, which is why sellers are pricing them high. I don’t collect WWI so I can’t comment which are rarer.
