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

Unknown pirated zouave figure
definitely pirated, can tell by casting quality. Only legible script on base is ENGLAND at top - are these based on a Rose figure, maybe?
Quite likely based on a Rose, but probably on one of the Napoleonic rather than ACW figures - based on the backpack. Most of the Rose ACW and many of the Rose Napoleonic British are now available again, but unfortunately I don't have moulds or masters for the French - someday might acquire some....
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.
