As part of estate sale, mostly Boxer Rebellion but some Boer War and a bit else, mostly in original packaging.  Not sure of counts on the packs but 50-75 or more at a guess.

Not shipping internationally but if you are in USA and have a need, let me know. 

I don't believe available anymore so thought I'd post in case someone had some high need for some of these figures.

Mostly they will be sold locally so speak soon if interested.  NOT fire sale prices!

Again - USA ONLY, please.

Return visit to storage area and found more Falcon packs so closer to 100.  These are the Falcon with the blue card backing to blister packs with a falcon incorporated into the letter F.  Codes are in the format C-XXXX where the Xs represent a number code.  Have been able to broadly identify the code groups but not the specific codes - yet.

Please note this collection may have a buyer who will get 'first right of refusal' after posting this list and the photographs below.   If for some reason he doesn't buy or only buys a portion, then I will make note of that.  Posting here rather than a PM so all can see.  And was pretty lucky to find enough information to identify pretty much everything.

— — —         pack of 3 guns (9005?), 8 crew
            (crew = 4 Boer?, 4 in SW hat)

      blister/manufacturer bag/labelled bag
— — —   = loose items that either are or look like Falcon based on size/style/basing (possible some are not Falcon but compatible with Falcon)

I counted the following:
100 Blister packs / 19 Manufacturer labelled non-blister bags  and (15 labelled bags by code only). Then, as noted above, there are several bags not clearly marked but reasonably identified as best as can be done.

Also one bag with the materials to make two armored cars, cast metal.

PHOTOS:









That is only four of the eighteen photos I took - but should give a sense of the figures, their packaging - or some repackaging - and general idea of the size of the collection. 

I put all this in one box and weighed it and it came out at 30 pounds.  Then I promptly repackaged into two boxes to avoid too much weight on the stuff on the bottom!



Came back and added above photo to show that at some point manufacturer was selling in bags rather than blister packs.

I have heard nothing from the prospective buyer - including a PM not responded to - so I am opening this collection back up to any interested buyer .  Will only ship within USA so if you are out of USA and interested maybe you know someone who might work with you.  Otherwise, USA only.  Will want payment for figures and shipping prior to shipping, payment made via PayPal to relative of deceased rather than to me directly.  Recommend buyer paying for insurance as well as shipping to avoid any possible loss if a package were to get lost along the way.  Will certainly take more than one - maybe three? - USPS flat rate boxes.

So, sound off - or PM if you prefer - if you are interested in this collection of figures.

Thank you.

Greg,
Will you be picturing any of the other stuff?

If you mean other elements of the collection besides the Falcon Miniatures, not impossible but probably not anytime soon.  Getting ready for a game at the convention in a week and then getting ready for trip out of country for a few weeks.  So, not until late May or June. 

There is a possibility some of the collection may be fore sale during the convention at the Scottish Rite Temple, 12th - 14th.  Unfortunately, until after the trip my time is going to be severely limited.  After the trip my plan is to devote a lot more time to my hobby projects.  And some more time to this estate sale.

I will make sure you know when there is an event at the location of the miniatures.  By far the largest part of the collection is Napoleonic miniatures but lots of other stuff scattered about.
