I have these two Knights that I am trying to identify the makers of. They look like they may have been made by Reeves International when they owned Britains. But I do no know for certain. Can anyone help?








This packing slip was in the box with the two Knights. Does anyone recognize it?

ACPH-2 the armies of Crecy and Poitiers
Roger de Trumpington
Windsor 1278
54 mm 1/32 scale
The label says:
Made in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong for
The Treasure Chest, Jacksonvile FL.

This one just says The Black Knight







Any info at all would be most helpful. Thanks in advance
 
Hi,
These are King White figures from China circa 1980s, 90s. You have the 2 mounted knights they did. They were distributed through various outlets by Reeves International. Retailers included FAO Schwartz, Treasure Chest and other hobby shops. King White was the actual brand/factory from Hong Kong and introduced the modern "Chinese Matte" figure to the hobby. They were inexpensive in the day with retail price of about $20, but were a stark contrast to the typical Britains Toy Soldier.

If you want, you can build a little collection of the KW knights. The foot figures come up on eBay from time to time. I've never seen the mounted knights up close.

Prost!
