18th Century figures


I have been going through 18th Century figures (Marlburian, Jacobite Rebellion, Seven Years' war, and American War of Independence), prior to dealing with these on the S Ranger blog.

All in this first picture are definitely S Range - but can anyone identify them? The first five figures (left to right) are all Seven Years War, I believe, and the foutth and fifth figures are the same. The final figure may be an AWI French infantryman?



These are possibly Marlburians?



These are, I fear, home casts. The last two figures are a British Drummer and a Highland infantryman. Any ideas on original manufacturer?



Again, any idea on manufacturer for these two?



The final figure on the right is a Scruby, but what about the others? The officer and drummer seem better detailed than the other castings.



Finally, these. The kneeling firing pose on the end is reminiscent of a mystery Napoleonic dismounted hussar in a similar pose, who turned out to be a Lamming. No possibility this might be a figure from the mysterious Lamming Seven Years War range?

most of these appear to be Garrison, the officer with a pike is a Minifigs Marlburian

None of these are from the current Garrison 25mm SYW range - i have an example of just about every code (i helped Rob catalogue them) and don't recognise any here. Did Garrison do a Marlburian range?

The figs in the first pic do look SYW - the middle grenadier is Russian i think, the other 2 grens probably Prussian. The style of cockade on the other 2 is perplexing -i'll have to dig into Funcken..8-)

The Marlburians do look familiar, but probably just from the pages of Battle - wasn't 'The Siege of Dendermonde(?)' illustrated with pics of S Range Marlburians?
