Help!

I was at an indoor market in Bellac today when I chanced upon these chaps for sale. The figures may be pewter and the individual soldiers are about 8cm tall - so I’m not sure what scale that equates to. I’ve no idea of manufacturer / age / period / nationality represented but they’re 85 euro for 12 as far as I can see which seems reasonable.

If anybody is able to shine a light on this I’d be grateful for any info.



















They’ve been glued to several crappy wooden bases and all of the figures appear to be individual. 

Again, any info the hive mind can provide will be gratefully received.

A plus mes amis.

    1. It’s not really my scene to be honest Norm, so thankfully not a rabbit hole I shall be falling down… well not this week…however I’d be keen to know a bit more about them just from a curiosity point of view. It’s a really unusual thing to come across out here in the sticks.
