Britains from the extremely rare 1st version of set 60 - Indian army cavalry display of the 1st Bombay Lancers, produced about 1896. Some minor paint chips and scuffs.

The following is taken from James Opie's Great book of Britains, page 39. This set contained 3 rows of the figures from...

There were 15 pieces, the set being provided with an officer and a trumpeter. The officer, a figure seen only in 2 or 3 row boxes of Indian cavalry, was the same Indian cavalry figure with an arm with outstretched sword. He was mounted on a horse of a different colour to the troopers - usually a yellowish bay.... Early sets of these figures had white collars and cuffs and light green coats, which over the years became a darker green.
