180-200mm British grenadier 1750

[custer760]

Sorting through some figures from a deceased collector at the Moment and came across a figure 180mm to eyes roughly and 200mm to top of Mitrecap,made of White Metal/pewter.
There is a Metal nameplate with it which reads Grenadier 1750.
Anyone have any idea from which company this was released??
Many thanks in advance

Hi Pete,

It's by John Niblett....he also did a British Musketeer and Pike man. The Grenadier was one of the first figures I ever painted, I had to save up for 3 months to buy the kit, it was £35. At that time large scale figures were very scarce. Nibletts figures are all beautifully cast in Pewter and superbly engineered.

The scale is 175mm Pete.
