talk to tom dubel. I deferred to him on this one, and decided not to bid.

i understand as its hard to add something to your collection that you know is not totally legit. I passed on some
revolutinary trophy sets that had funky paint jobs as far as quality and uniform selection.

The 18 Turkish Lancers sold for $3,300!!!! Did anyone on the forum buy them?

 

[Louis Badolato]

By the way now there is a single WWI Turkish Lancer in a Trophy Box and a mounted German Officer wearing a cap in a box, each with a starting bid of $250.

Way too much for that lot. I was surprised by final bidding. Saw the other 2 pieces too.

Yes, I saw, thank you. I am watching the Pack Camel of the Escort, as that is the one Turkish camel figure I don't have.:salute::

I got it! Now I only need two more Turkish sets, 1 Russian and the Motor Ambulance to complete Trophy WWI.

Louis what about the turkish infantry that came up for bid on ebay?

You mean the marching guys in the light blue-gray uniforms? They are not infantry, they are multiples of the Trooper from the Escort of the Guard that accompanies the pack camel. And, again, the eyes don't look right. I think this gentlemen purchased multiple castings of various sets either from Len or the gentleman who purchased Trophy from Len, and had them painted.

As I posted, I picked up GA16 Supply Camel of the Escort (photos below). Now, in addition to GW51 the Russian Supply Wagon, I need the GWEQ81 the Motorized Ambulance and these two sets to complete my Trophy WWI collection:

GA17 Mountain Mule Gun Battery of the Escort
GA20 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Standard Bearer

The Supply Camel of the Escort arrived, and has joined his mates to complete the WWI Turkish Camel Corps:
