Can anyone tell me who makes this metal guy?

I know lots about 15mm, 25/28mm ACW figures. I even know a fair amount about HO Scale and 1/76 plastic ACW figures. But I know NOTHING about 20mm metal figures.

If you said 25mm I might guess old DER Kreigspiellers.

Don't recognize it.

RSM 95 made 20mm ACW, but I don't know what they look like.

Thomas K & L?

But if I remember correctly they were made to match up with airfoil, so HO-OO, 1/87?

It looks exactly like a 25mm Confederal figure that I have. These were true scale 25mm figures originally issued by Der Kreigspiellers and then by Heritage. The other possibility is a 22mm Musket Miniature and good luck ever getting a match.

Don't recognize him. I have various brands of 15mm ACW, but no 22 – 25mm. Nice sculpt and paint job, though.

Xx Just wondering if it's Hinchliffe? I've got a brigade of them somewhere, if I can find them, I'll compare.

The style, proportions, etc. do look very much like the Der Kriegspielers (Custom Cast) "Confederals" line. Is he a true 25mm figure?

That's it, 35thOVI, Gamertom, and thanks to Eumelus for the visual confirmation!

I always consider Foundry as 25mm as opposed to 28mm. But, these guys are so small in comparison.

😉 if you hadn't said 20, I would have been sure. First CW I ever painted. Sold them years ago. Went to 15mm later. Early and Barnes division in those old 25mm

I have often wondered whatever becomes of these old lines and the molds? My first 15mm armies were Heritage Union and Confederate armies. They were really nice figures for their time!

Perrin I have armies of them, at least the 15mm. Although I've sold many and will probably eventually all. My Civil war is mostly their 15mm. Some of my French Napoleonic and possibly some Russians. Duke used to run it out of Dayton.

35th,
Yeah. I sold mine years ago as well. Still have many fond memories of them! I also had a huge sand table back then. Miss the smell of wet sand too!
