"Help Identifying These 15mm Knights?" Topic

I picked up a bunch of these, 15mm-ish, any ideas?

Sort of look like the old S.A.E.figs?

Man, i was really hoping SAE, but a guy who didnt buy them at the estate sale said they werent and then made a mocking smile. Estate sales are rough!

They sure look like SAE to me.

SAE's are 30mm or thereabouts. It is possible that
some smaller scale figures were produced
since a line of 1:108 (almost exactly 15mm)
were produced (see below).

The original SAE's (not called that) were made in Ireland
beginning in 1946 but production stopped there in 1953.

The history of SAE figures is convoluted. Some (early)
were sculpted by Holgar Eriksson, and the masters
provided to a Swede named Curt Wennberg. Wennberg had
his manufacturing located in South Africa, the process
(production and painting) done by the Bantu.

Eriksson and Wennberg came to a falling out and later
SAE's were not Eriksson designs. His 'signature' for
figures he designed is, generally but not universally,
a cruciform base. These figures are 1:108 (1" = 9 feet)
and the figures in the photo MAY be of that genre since
the SAE firm continued to produce figures in that scale
following the break with Eriksson, merely changing the
bases to the more traditional rectangle shape.

Again, Scruby 20's from the Soldiers of the Crusades range. Still available from Historifigs.
