YOU ARE offerDING ON 6 VINTAGE BRITISH GRENADIERS PRODUCED IN THE EARLY 1950\'S. THESE ARE \"HERALD SERIES\" FIGURES. THEY ARE MARKED ON UNDERSIDE OF BASE WITH \"HERALD SYMBOL\" AND MADE IN ENGLAND. WHILE MOST PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF WM BRITIANS\' HERALD SERIES, NOTED TOY SOLDIER HISTORIAN, NORMAN JOPLIN, IN ONE OF HIS BOOKS DETAILS HOW THE ORIGINAL \"HERALD\" FIGURES WERE ACTUALLY MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED \"ZANG\" IN ENGLAND AND BOUGHT OUT BY BRITAINS\' IN THE MID 1950\'S. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING ZANG THE MOLDS BASES WERE CHANGED TO IDENTIFY THEM AS BRITAINS\', AND THEN LATER AS BRITAINS\' MADE IN CROWN COLONY OF HONG KONG. THESE PARTICULAR FIGURES DO NOT HAVE THE BRITAINS\' DESIGNATION NOR HONG KONG DESIGNATION, BUT DO HAVE THE \"HERALD \" AND \"MADE IN ENGLAND\". SO IN ALL LIKELIHOOD ARE ZANG\'S PRODUCTION OR BRITAINS\' PRODUCTION SHORTLY AFTER ACQUISITION EITHER WAY NEAT 1950\'S FIGURES OF BRITISH GRENADIERS.
THEY SUFFER PAINT LOSS AS DO MOST PLASTIC FIGURES FROM THIS ERA OF PRODUCTION AS THE PLASTICS USED AT THE TIME WERE A LITTLE OILY AND PAINT TENDED TO SLOUGH OFF OVER TIME. THEY ALL HAVE THEIR WEAPONS ALTHOUGH THE FIGURE WITH SWORD IS HARD TO SEE SWORD AGAINST HIS BODY IT IS THERE AND IS INTACT. UNCOMMON 60 PLUS YEAR OLD GROUPING.
