Ok, ok, I admit it, it's frustrating looking round all these manufacturer's sites trying to match some figures, only to find almost none of them seem to have photos!
So, here's the dilemma. My wife has a bunch of Romans that she picked off Ebay and is painting them up. But she has some cavalry and has decided she is a few horses short of a cavalry unit!
Anyone tell me who makes these, so I can order her some more?
There are 4 distinct pieces:
1. Standard bearer, rearing horse, tall standard (!)
2. Unarmoured horse, mailed rider, sword, javelin and oval shield
3. Part-armoured horse, mailed rider with long spear/lance, bow and oval shield
4. Armoured horse, mailed/padded rider with mace, long spear/lance and oval shield
The riders and shields are separate, except for the standard bearer, which is a one-piece casting. As they were bought off Ebay, it's possible the riders are not on the correct horses. The spears/javelins/lances are notably thin.
I even haave photos :-)

Anyone held ID these? I've been looking through the usual suspects, Essex, Donnington, Museum…
