I was wondering if anyone knows what this figure might be. I have checked all the usual places that have information on early Minifigs to no avail. It is possible that someone has one of these in their collection.
He is most likely from the 25mm Minifigs S Range and may well be from the Colonial range; CC2s Moroccan Cavalryman.
Also in the Minifigs catalogue, under the French Revolutionary War, there is a figure listed as FRC 7s, Syrian Horse Lancer. Again, does anyone know of this figure and maybe what it looks like. Could the figure above be this one? Or could the figure be something completely different.
Any information would be gratefully received.
It is Minifigs and I believe it is a camel rider from one of their ancient lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That might make sense as the space between the legs is quite large compared to other cavalry figures.
DeleteIf it is a "Camel Rider" figure, which is not certain, because as for the space between the legs of this reference, it is not bigger compared to the other cavalry figures that I have in any 'S' range, it is not in my opinion an antique figure, because its outfit is too modern and the only references of "Camel Rider" in antique 'S' range are "P.B.C. 35s Arab Selucid Camel Rider" and "P.B.C. 206 Palmyran Camelman" and these figures have nothing to do with a Seleucid or a Palmyran.
ReplyDeleteIn the 'S' range FRENCH REVOLUTION AND EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN CAVALRY 25mm "S" RANGE, we can only find them in the references benefiting from a designation, the references below:
F.R.C. 4s Arab Camel Rider with Musket.
F.R.C. 5s Syrian Camel Lancer.
F.R.C. 6s Arab Horse Lancer.
F.R.C. 7s Syrian Horse Lancer.
Note that many references of the 'S' ranges indicated in the 1972-73 catalog have no designations, just a reference number, so this reference could just as well come from the COLONIALE CAVALRY 25mm "S" RANGE.
So a reader would have to find us and publish on this blog, a photo of these figurines with their reference number below coming from a catalog before 1972, like in the MiniFigs catalog of 1985.
