EBay find .


Just arrived in the post , a box full of 40mm lead figures , bought very cheaply off eBay - nobody else bid on them as the were a bit 'hidden' on an antique book sellers site . 


Here we see one of them next to an Irregular figure - large 40mm describes them best . The are 1890ish French and semi-flat cast using pure lead I would say , some have a bit of paint on them but cleaned up , straightened out and based they will look okay . It looks like a French contingent is going to arrive to take part in the Treboria - Ferraro Rocher conflict .

    1. Semi flat but will paint up nicely with a good gloss coat.
