Intended as a resource to help identify vintage wargames figures before posting them more publicly on the Hinton Hunter, Old Metal Detector, or Lone S Ranger blogs
Hi Roy, not a conversion I think - no sign of a head swap and the sword is moulded attached to his right leg - unless someone has converted a figure and then cast it. Close up he doesn't seem to come from the HH French officer ingreatcoat He has a square base with clipped corners.
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.

My bet here is a conversuion of an HH French officer in Greatcoat with a confederate cavalry head!

I still believe that that is a Hinton Hunt, Arm bent down and head swapped and then used as a master figure for casting!!
Your ACW cavalry are the same process with converted heads and gear and then cast up so I suspect that this is the same 'range'.
