God I hope not. He is good people. He knew of my interest in the LRDG and sent me a book about them. If you are out there, you are not forgotten.

There are many who either do not collect or do not participate anymore. The number of people who were here in the early years and still participate is probably very small.

Hey Louis there is a giant offering of ww1 Turks up on eBay for $3799.
It looks like it includes all the ones as well as the ones I need. I would jump on them but upon closer inspection they look alittle rough. Chips and scrapes and kinda looks like rougher touch up or maybe paint defects . When I first saw these I got excited and almost pulled the trigger before someone texted me to look closer at them. But who know , a little touch up maybe they would work for you. Good luck

Thanks for the heads up. I negotiated about 40% off the asking price and just bought them. 6 of the 12 Trophy WWI sets I needed in one purchase.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Here are the photos of the sets I obtained, an overview and photos of the camel corps:

GA12 Yaver Hayri Pasha Senior Ottoman Turkish Officer
GA13 Ottoman Turkish Standard Bearer of the Escort
GA14 Ottoman Turckish Bugler of the Escort

And the Cavalry and Ammunition Mule sets:

GA18 Ammunition Mule of the Escort
GA19 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Officer
GA21 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Bugler

The remaining sets I am looking for are:

GA16 Supply Camel of the Escort
GA17 Mountain Mule Gun Battery of the Escort
GA20 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Standard Bearer
GW51 Russian Supply Wagon (Russian version of GWD10)

Any help obtaining them would be greatly appreciated!
