Description

A diverse collection of toy soldiers and ceremonial figurines, predominantly featuring British military themes in a traditional gloss finish. The assortment includes various regiments and units such as Yeomen of the Guard (Beefeaters), Highland bagpipers in kilts, Foot Guards in bearskin caps, mounted and on-foot Lifeguards, and Lancers. The collection is accompanied by ceremonial mascots, including a regimental goat and a dog in a ceremonial coat. Also included are three fantasy-themed figurines in the style of characters from The Lord of the Rings, depicting Elrond, a Gondorian soldier, and Aragorn. Vehicular elements comprise a purple and gold ceremonial state coach with a red interior, drawn by a pair of harnessed horses, and a separate unpainted white metal four-wheeled supply or farm wagon. A group of unpainted white metal figures and components is also present in the foreground. The lot includes a small blue-and-white cardboard box in the style of W. Britain packaging with printed quantity labels.

Average height of standing figures: 54 mm – 65 mm.


Condition report:

Generally good condition with a vibrant gloss paint finish. Some figures exhibit minor paint loss and surface chipping consistent with age and handling. The carriage and horses appear intact with rolling wheels. A portion of the lot consists of unpainted white metal castings, spare flags, and parts. This is a mixed, loose collection with some items possibly missing original accessories.
