Does anybody recognize this model?

Just curious. I've got a couple of them newly pulled out of storage and enqueued for repainting.The others are on my blog.

My brother has some of these.  He thinks they are Heritage Sassanid War Elephants but the ones you have may have different howdah crews as his ones have archers with bulbous headgear.  Like these ones

It is deffinately a Sassanid, but not Hinchcliffe. Irregular maybe.

Thanks, guys.

Irregular may be a possibility. I wonder if I can find some pictures of Irregular elephants.

I think Dadlmassu's are Garrison
These are definately Hinchcliffe. They were sould under license in the US by Heritage. I have a couple of these myself. I also have the Garrison Carthaginian elephant.
