In order to take my mind off the present misery that is living in the UK, I started sorting through some boxes of old figures. They had been in storage for many years and among them were some figures I have had since the 1970's. I came across a set of "Bugle and Guidon" 30mm figures from their Custer Line. There are 6 standing figures of US cavalry from the 1870 period, with 2 dead and 2 dead horses, plus a whole lot of spare rifles, pistols, saddles etc.
I have tried looking on line but I coldn't find anything about this line, just a few references to Bugle and Guidon going out of business years ago. Any information on these figures would be much appreciated, as I would like to know if it is worth putting them up for sale or should I just put them back in storage and leave my kids to find them when I'm gone.
Many thanks
Rob

He might have more history for you.

The Heritage entry in the Manufacturers Directory shows the range:

You'd have to ask if they're still available:

I know for a fact that Monarch Miniatures of NY has the 54 mm molds and that he produces the line along with several other "dead" lines. I do not know if he has the 30 mm molds.
I am sure you can track him down and find out. I do know that he lives in Queens in NYC and that he has a table at the Long Island Military Miniature show in Freeport, Long Island.

You can probably contact them for his information.

Thanks guys, I must have missed the connections. So many of the old companies have gone since I started collecting back in the days when I still had hair and a waistline. It will be good to try and track these leads down. Thanks again for all your help.
