Title: Friend looking for 15 mm Essex figures in USA
Post by: FifteensAway on May 28, 2023, 11:43:54 PM

One of our local groups more elderly members is looking for some unpainted Essex Seven Year's War figures.

I figured out what it would be by Essex packs as below:

Austrian:
36 cuirassier - 9 + 27, 3 command packs, 7 figure packs (1 extra figure) 4.5 / 4.5

48 grenadier - 12 + 36, 2 command packs, 5 foot packs (4 extra figures)

32 musketeers - 6 + 26, 2 command packs, 4 foot packs (6 extra figures)

Prussian:
24 cuirassier - 6 + 18, 2 command packs, 5 figure packs (2 extra figures)

72 grenadier - 18 + 54, 3 command packs, 7 figure packs (2 extra figures)

24 musketeers - 6 + 18, 2 command packs, 3 foot packs (6 extra figures)

Apparently he is trying to build some opponenets for his Koenig Krieg army (Imperials?) and wants to use Essex.  He cannot find anyone in US still selling.  Not sure why, but he wants to not order direct from Essex, freight maybe.  He is extremely hard of hearing so it can be a challenge to understand him sometimes without more careful clarifications.

If anyone in USA has the listed items above and don't need/want, he'd be glad to take them off of your hands.  I'd leave sorting cost between you and him.

He is a really nice guy and I'd like to help him out.  Alas, my SYW figures are in a smaller scale (12 mm).

So, if you know of a USA supplier or if you have the figures and no longer need, please let me know and I will pass the information along.

Thanks.

This company is in the USA, They carry Essex Ancients but maybe could order the SYW figures.


Also they are listed on Noble Knights webstore

Many have a look at Sentry Box in Calgary, Alberta, which stocks some Essex. Postage is no picnic to the US, but less than the other way around!!

Took a look at Sentry Box but no current listing - that I could find - for Essex historical miniatures.  Thanks though.
