BRITAINS AND OTHER INTERESTING TOY SOLDIERS: Themes and Highlights from Sixty Years of Collecting

1-246830

Author shares some of the in-depth knowledge gained through experience of collecting toy soldiers and countless hours of careful research, but most of all the passion and enthusiasm for his hobby. Explains his inspiration to collect soldiers, like so many, in early boyhood and how a hobby grew into an obsession. The various chapters examine themes such as Britains Special Painting Orders and Indian Army Pipe Bands, or address questions regarding the manufacture or identity of specific sets. It is packed with anecdotes, useful technical information, and helpful advice for the collector; but it is above all a proud tour of inspection of a 60-year labor of love. Contains 450 color illustrations.
