If you are using a display case to display antique toy soldiers do NOT USE AN OAK one! The oak emits tannic acid which causes lead rot in older soldiers. The ones made of lead. I have toy soldiers over a hundred years old and I made that mistake once.
Superb showcase, love the Del Prado knights and the stretcher...
Great information! Thanks for putting this guide together!
i have been trying to collect iron brigade civil war
I have some Black Watch circa battle of Tel el Kabir. I got them from my brother and have no idea of manufacturer. Any way I can get you a picture?
Black Watch is a favourite of a lot of collectors. You should be able to post them on your youtube page for all to see.
