Lot 691: An Assortment of Vintage Costume Jewellery and Miscellaneous Collectibles
This lot comprises a collection of hand-painted cast metal military miniatures depicting members of various British Highland regiments. The figures are rendered in two distinct historical uniform styles: traditional full dress featuring red tunics, kilts, and feathered bonnets, and colonial service dress featuring red tunics, kilts, and white pith helmets. Included in the collection is a bagpiper and a colour party featuring a flag-bearer with a British regimental colour. The soldiers are depicted in a variety of tactical and ceremonial poses, including marching, standing at attention, kneeling, and firing rifles. The figures are constructed from a cast white metal alloy and exhibit hand-painted detailing throughout. The scale and sculptural style are highly consistent with the military ranges produced by Britains and similar specialist manufacturers such as Corgi. A Corgi brand box is visible in the background of the lot but is not definitively associated with the specific figures shown.
