I'm 90% certain they're Old Glory.

they are definitly Old Glory!

here are the ones you showed in your post:

I like especialy the ones which are digging the treasure:

and the ones in the pub:

It looks like they have many interesting poses you can't get from other manufactuers.

Has anybody experience with Old Glory? I never bought them till now?

Hi Lurch, welcome to the forum!

thanks for links, looks like I wasn't wrong, they're Andy Cooper's sculpts. Old Glory has lots of good stuff and lots of crap. I'd say, Coopers's stuff is the good stuff :) I'm going to get some of his pirates!

The OG pirates are certainly among the best of their extremely variable ranges. I recently painted a load of the pirates for a customer and was very impressed with them --H

@Prof. How do you know which one are the Cooper ones? Can you see it, I mean only from the pics from the old glory side?

Do you order them directly or from a shop?

I'd say, all the pirates are from Cooper, at least looks like so to me
