I have never seen the Boxers before - though ironically I have a lot of the Imperial Chinese regulars, though they were acquired as something else in a job lot
ReplyDeleteI think I might have a few more Imperial Chinese infantry that are paint as sailors. I will have go look for them. Aside from the Imperial Chinese infantryman, the other 4 figures in the first pictures are new to me.
ReplyDeleteAgain just marvellous, I wish I could help you in your collecting, I have given myself a stern talking to about not trying to collect myself. There would be no point anyway as yourself and Ian Dury appear to have cornered the market. Your metal detecting skills are forensic ! Are there any copies of catalogues on line so I can identify any figures that come across as Laing figures ? Thanks again for sharing, have been looking at Ian Durys stuff as well, also lovely. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteChris, I presume that you have seen my Peter Laing figures collection on Google+? I have scanned Peter's catalogue, so I will put it on there
DeleteThere is no reason why if you are interested in collecting you shouldn't give it a try. Ian will actually send emails to us interested in figures; often we know who is bidding and will express if we are planning on bidding on different lots. I have in the past withheld bidding on figures I already have so others can get them. This lot was actually sold in the USA; finding PLs stateside is a rare thing. Most figures I have bought have been overseas. Ian downloaded a Peter Laing catalog, although there is no illustrations. Just so you know, I have found toy soldiers collectors a generous group and I personally have received several lots of Peter Laing for free.
