The lucky buyer seems to be buying anything HH at the minute, and good luck to him. They were painted examples, although the picture was not detailed enough to make an opinion on the standard of painting.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332064510848053639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-38580298126606007272014-04-10T11:16:25.431+01:002014-04-10T11:16:25.431+01:00I suppose it depends if painted or unpainted and i...I suppose it depends if painted or unpainted and if painted well. 144 decent cavalry is a really decent find well done.

Otherwise somebody would have landed the bargain of the century. Even so, £3 per cavalry figure is my idea of a bargain.

They were not listed by the seller as HH. It would seem the seller was unaware of their value, however several regular HH buyers seemed to recognise them immediately and they went for around £450 in the end, probably not as expensive per figure as some, but a huge overall sum.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332064510848053639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-25664665150837302452014-04-05T09:45:39.383+01:002014-04-05T09:45:39.383+01:00Which cavalry were they Michael??

I have frustratingly little time for painting at the moment and I really shouldn't have diverted to the Carthaginians but I'm sure you know what its like!

On another note, having seen what someone was prepared to pay recently on ebay for a collection of HH cavalry, I am beginning to think HH are really cast in sterling silver rather than white metal!!!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332064510848053639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-14570779618125290052014-04-01T16:19:05.323+01:002014-04-01T16:19:05.323+01:00A battle followed by a victory parade?
