Only ones I have found (so far) are these 15mm from Fighting 15s. link
This set of 28mm plastics from Perry offer option of light horse archers, but for
early 15th century.

Great, thanks! Not my scale but it proves that lance-and-crossbow cavalry existed, at least in wargames. If someone could come up with a reference to its existence in history, I would build them with the Perry light cavalry set. Unfortunately, I can't find any reference anywhere, and I'm trying really hard. |

Drocton, if you search for "Border Rievers" then you'll find quite a few images of lance/spear and bow/crossbow armed cavalry on the Scots-English border. But they're more skirmishers and raiders, not the formed bodies of troops I get the impression that you're after. The only 28mm figures I know of are the Perry figures you say you already have. |
