Mystery Les Higgins 25mm French gunners
John Cunningham has sent these photos of Les Higgins artillery in shakos. These figures don't appear in any listing, and are not among the moulds which NapoleoN now have and are putting back into production.
definitely not conversions, check out the tunics different to the GHA crew, i've closely examined them no sign of head swop, castings are whole not stuck together or anything like that when i first saw them i too thought they were conversions but as i said definitely not conversions john
That,s because they are lamming and not Higgins!! The shako has thick bands like unto lamming and not like Hihhins whose relief modelling is much lower!! Roy
I dont think there Lamming the base's are the wrong style for both 20 & 25 mil versions. Excellent figure's John would like to find out more about them.
I am intending to use this site to post pictures for identification help before blogging them publicly on the Hinton Hunter, Old Metal Detector or Lone S Ranger sites. You can use the comments feature to respond and see any ideas others have left. If you want to post pictures here for others to help with, let me know and I can arrange the right to post. I won't be publicising the site in general, it's really to enable us to do this on line rather than by e-mail and hopefully with higher definition pictures. The site is invitation only but I am happy to invite anyone you think may be interested to join.

Could they be conversions,, I have some L/H french infantry that have pom poms on there shakos instead of plumes.

bit more info, figures have epaulettes, same size as GHA figs, bases are marked PMD NF34, which is a bit confusing as it's the same coding as GHA
