Help Identify Lead Soldier Figures

[rockysgoldandsilver]

Does anyone know anything about these figures? Some have a stamp on the bottom but I can't find any information about them. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there ,

The grenadier , 2nd from right might be an old Phoenix figure the one on the right looks like it might be from All the Queens Men ..either a marine or para.

Not 100% sure but the Mameluke could be from Metal Modeles ...no idea on the mounted one !

Ask me one on busts ...should get them ...lol !

Thanks for the help! No ideas on the H&G company stamp on the base bottom?

I Think the one on the right is made from the nicked lead off my toilet overflow pipe

Possibly Heker & Goros ...not sure if I spelt that right though ?

Or H&G might be a closed trophy or hobby shop in Albuquerque? None currently listed in the Yellow Pages online. The only H&G listed in Albuquerque is a light trucking company.

All the best,

In the Saturday April 28th 1973 edition of the Albuquerque Journal there was an advert for a shop called the Hobby Korner at that address. Page 27.

The cavalry trooper is an old Valiant figure. I'm positive on that one because I painted one of those up when I was a kid. The Mamluke looks like a Series 77 offering, but I'm not positive. The other two I have no idea.

I am sure that The Mameluke was from an American company called Superior and dates from the 1970's.

Mirofsoft has a couple of Superior Models catalogues in his large pdf collection:-

You'll find the Mameluke numbered 1718 in the first one.

Hi! Sandra from Medieval Productions (Perth Pewter/Superior Models/Nasteez/Rawcliffe Pewter) here. I just looked at the old catalogs listed on the Mirosoft Nostalgia page and we still make almost all of those but in pewter now (we no longer cast in lead). Thanks for posting that, I know it was 8 years ago.
