I was going through an old box of unpainted miniatures and I found several Battle Honors blister packs that I probably bought about 5 years ago… one of the packs contains 12 British line infantry in greatcoats with shakos. The pack has a hand written code 4011. So my question, did Battle Honors ever make Brits in greatcoats? I have figures painted or unpainted from every bag that OldGlory15s currently sells and none contain greatcoats… any ideas? Does anyone have a list of the blister packs they used to sell? Even though the packs were bought about 5 years ago, they are probably much older and when I bought them I remember they looked like they were sitting on a shelf somewhere for years… |

Yes, those are Battle Honors. I just looked up the code from a 1994 catalogue. 4011 – British Battalion Greatcoats no command. The blister with 12 figures in the pack is the way they were originally sold. John |

Thanks, interesting that I haven't seen them offered in any of the bags that the online sellers have… |

It's probably never put into a bag as there is no command in greatcoat listed. At this point AB's were already being produced, so no command was ever going to be sculpted by Tony Barton. John |

I wonder what other figures were available via blister pack that aren't in the bags that are currently sold -- is the old catalogue you searched available online? |

Sorry, I didn't see your question. The catalogue I have is The Emperor's HDQ 1994, who at that time was the distributor in the states for Battle Honors and AB. It didn't look at much else was missing though as I looked through it the other day. If I notice anything else, I'll post it to here. John |
