I bought this miniature 30+ years ago when I was a boy and I was really wondering what make that would be.

That's the Hincliffe logo.

It is from the Hinchliffe OPC (One Piece Casting) range. These are still available from hinchliffe.co.uk/home.htm

However, OPC8 is not. You may have a rarity there.

Yes it is a Hinchliffe One Piece Cavalry (OPC) but the Hinchliffe listings and my old catalogues do not show an OPC 8. The figure looks like Union Cavalry though.

It's still available from Hinchliffe, as either part of the ACW signal tower set (EG31), or ACW cavalry horses and minder set (EG50). I got one recently and it's still a nice casting.

Thank you Gentlemen. I seriously consider buying a fair few of them for the old times sake.

That's a blast from the past!

Yup, even with the logo upside down and the code backwards and also (of course) upside down it is without doubt Hinchliffe and from the One Piece Casting range.evil grin

Hinchliffe has aged well. Well, some of them. grin

I just picked up one of each of the old Robin Hood range.. unfortunately the molds have not survived well so it will be a labour of love that may take some time….

The Hinchliffe cavalry in Greatcoats and Cloaks are fantastic. Hate painting hussar braid? Field a regiment in foul weather gear :)
