Britains Low stone wall, SP.

AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE AND 1812 NAVAL FIGURES

Britains War of 1812 Naval Cannon and Crew

NAPOLEONIC WARS FIGURES

The Napoleonic range of figures 12 foot and 12 mounted was produced from 1974 to 1979. Very nicely done they are perhaps the most desired of the Deetail range.

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR FIGURES

A few Timpo snuck in the picture.

All of the American Civil War figures made by Britains were painted or produced in colors to be either Union or Confederate soldiers.

HERALD PLASTIC BASE FIGURES

INFANTRY

Usually paint has started flaking off due to age.

REISSUE unpainted figures from the 1990s

ARTILLERY

CAVALRY

These "Eyes Right" figures were made from about 1962 to 1970 in both Union and Reb versions. The same body was used for the flag bearer and bugler, but things were redone a bit and variations exist. Later style have arm pegs visible.

DEETAIL ERA METAL BASED FIGURES

Three of the original Deetail ACW foot figures had arms that plugged on and were glued in place. These were made from 1972 to 1980 when the mold was remade and all six figures were each made in a solid body with no arms to be glued on (but with shorter rifles). These slightly larger figures were made from 1980 to the end in 1998. We have a hard time telling the earlier nonplug arm figures from the later versions and will not attempt do do so. Slight variations in accessory paint schemes also exist. The early plug arm kneeling firing poses also came with two styles of rifles, one with a strap(Union version above) and one without(Confederate version above)

Figures for both sides are identical. The Cavalry flag the Union figure carries is different than the one carried by the Union foot figure. The mounted figures were made from 1971 to the end in 1998. The officer (618) an figures with sword(622) and pistol(623) have plug on arms that allow for some degree of variability. The pistol pose(623) with a different arm was also used as a limber rider.

French Foreign Legion

806 and 809 are very similar in appearance, but 806 does have a beard. Also unique is the fact that 808 has a sword molded onto the arm (like ACW figures) unlike most other Deetail cavalry figures whose swords are separate.
