Gaspare,

The company that made that is British. I collected their Knights of Agincourt and still have them. Here is one.

Hi Dave,
I like the medieval stuff. Those are very nice!
The scale of the Life Guard Standard Bearer mounted is 1:32/ 54mm. I will try and post my German soldiers. Thank you.

Hope you have enjoyed them. I have no idea what they are are made of, but they are solid and have some weight to them. I think Lead maybe. I'll post some more toy soldiers in a day or two if you like. Thanks for looking and thank you Dave.

I can share a couple of German composition soldiers. Late war pieces I believe.

There are also 5 foot soldiers in the series. They are all models of English knights/soldiers ... the French presumably already in Heaven laugh

Dave, your post has confused me. You say there are "5 foot soldiers. Do you meen that there are five examples of foot soldiers(infantry), or do you mean they actually turned out toys that are 5 feet tall.

Serious question here.

I know there are 5 foot tall toy soldiers, but i am not sure that is what you are saying.

Jim,

Five models of foot soldiers. Each nominally 2" high. A majority of the lead soldiers / figures made in England 1950 - 1960, which is when these are from, are of that scale.

In the 1950-1960 time frame, there were many makers of toy lead figures in England. The 10 I just showed you came from Britains, the most prolific maker of lead toys. Everything from farm scenes to circuses to soldiers to knights. Their knights are superior in detail and paint.

Another prolific manufacturer was Timpo. They made a set of knights called Knights of the Round Table, based of a poor movie of the same name.

There were eight mounted knights plus King Arthur.

In addition, three men on foot were sold. King Arthur, Lancelot, and Mordred. Same scale of about 2" for the men. These three are difficult to find with their swords intact.

They also sold mounted Crusaders that used the same horses.

Joe, Dave, G,
I really like the knights and soldiers. It looks to be well made heavy duty stuff.
