ACW Help

[Paul Richardson]

I wonder whether anyone can help me with something that's bothering me. Ages ago someone brought out an ACW figure of a mounted officer on a rearing horse. The officer was half-turned back and he had a sword in his right hand. A lovely figure. It was very popular at the time. I had one at one stage but I can't find it now - maybe I gave it away. Can anyone please put an end to my pondering and let me know where it came from. I suspect it may have been a freebie - perhaps from Salute or from a magazine. I don't collect ACW figures now so don't want one, just to be reminded where it came from. Thanks.

Was it the Salute miniature from the Perrys?

[Paul Richardson]

Yes, it was. Many thanks. I'll stop searching the web now. It's great figure - very dynamic.

The occasional casting still pops up on Ebay from time to time but I suspect they must be getting expensive now.

I was reminded of it because I've just finished reading Gods and Generals and I'm now re-reading The Killer Angels - both books which bring the history to life.
