First post so lets hope this is right…….

I have acquired some minis and am not 100% sure what they are so thought I would seek some Grognard assistance.

Cav:-

They look like AB French Dragoons but what year/version (One broken so I need a replacement)

picture

Inf:-

Again they have the air of French but not AB……but what are they?

Any help gratefully received (and I can upload other piccies if it helps)

The Cavalry is definitely AB. Not sure about the infantry.

Agreed, the cavalry are AB, though they usually come with riders and mounts separate.

The infantry uses some AB type poses but they are too rough for AB. Maybe a cheap re-cast??!!

The thin rectangle bases are an indication of AB. The early AB are art of the USA 19th Century ranges along with Old Glory 15s.

It is a compliment to the quality of AB that they are such favourites for pirate copies, but I think Tony Barton might just accept that with reservations!

I agree with nsolomon99, especially if purchased from the Far East.
