Does anybody recognise these figures?
« on: 05 August 2014, 11:29:39 PM »
Hello

I bought these on ebay, so don't know the manufacture, can anybody help?


Thanks for looking
If in doubt, fire everything!

Maybe Old Glory, or Lancashire Games?

If they are Donnington 15s they are probably 18-20mm tall. I bought some Donnington 15mm ACW and they dwarfed my old 18-20mm Air-fix stuff.

If 15mm they may be Matchlock Miniatures - a range that was sold by Dave Ryan at Caliver Books?

These uniforms look more 1680s-90s than ECW. I have loads of Donnington 1690s stuff and these are not amongst them.

Had a proper look and am fairly sure they are Matchlock -

Although these are obviously late C17th the style is very close to the ECW range from what I can see.

Hope this helps (if I'm right if course!)
