We have always been interested in Historical models, and it was only when a customer of ours, in Switzerland asked us for Pewter figures that we even thought of listing them.
We first got involved in pewter figures in 1969/72 when Meccano brought a set of six figures. A Yeoman Warder; Cameron Highland Piper; Irish Guards Side Drummer; Grenadier Guardsman; Life Guard; and Black Watch Piper. These Sovereign figures were about 4 1/4 inches tall and made in England. Britain made good diecast models at he time (Corgi, Matchbox, and Dinky Toys). So pewter seemed to be a natural progression.
The range we carry is from the Myths and Legends Historical Knights Collection. They are all hand painted finish, with a lot of attention given to detail. These figurines are quite heavy, but have a delicacy about them.
Very much with Fathers Day in mind, these knights make great presents and are carefully packed in a presentation packaging. All the pieces are approximately 4.25 inches tall and are to the same scale. We have illustrated two of a growing range. Later in the year we intend to carry larger pieces.
