Wow that was a quicker respones than I expected .
Yes gordy thats the one and thanks for the blog reference , as Patrick says in his blog this is an equisite figure, which is not really conveyed by the pictures , every thing about it is spot on from the stance , the eyes on the target while the body and arms are relaxed just before notching the arrow and drawing back the bow . I'm glad I held onto this figure when I sold off some of my grey army .
Meliane thanks for the pictures, No.2 in the second picture is spot on , were did they come ?

I would say that it Osprey, Men at arms. The Venetian Empire 1200–1670.
