I wanted to register my sadness at hearing of the passing of Alan Cook of the ABC Wargamers' blog , after a long illness. Alan amongst other things was a great S Range man with an unerring eye ...
Not to be mistaken for OF 8, American Civil War Cantiniere (previous post here ). In practice I think they are interchangeable and could also easily be used for Crimean War and Franco Prussia...

For Seven Years War experts - could these be RSW 4s Russian Line Grenadier Officer and RSW 5s Ruissian Regiment Grenadier Advancing? The grenadier is missing his fixed bayonet.

Question for American Revolution/War of Independence experts - could this figure be AWI 11s British Guard or Fusilier advancing?

No code on this one and I can't find it in any list - I think of it as the weary horse, either very tired or pulling an extra heavy load. It may well be an Alberken/Miniature Figurines 20mm h...

I don't know if anyone can interpret the code in the photograph better than I can from the base in real life - sharpened up by Photoshop it looks as if it might be MF17 325 or similar.. ...

Fairly clearly a trotting horse in the S range style, with an earlier (I think) octagonal base shape - basically a rectangle with the four corners snipped off. There is no legible code ...

This is one of my favourite S Range horses but is a bit of a mystery for two reasons. The only code or marking it carries is a small MF on the top of the base. I have seen other horses wi...
