This auction is for a boxed set of custom painted soldier figures. The detail of the painting on the figures is exceptional. They came from an auction of many similar sets, and the auction house lost track of which sets the box tops went with. I ended up with 11 sets (out of about 30). They were all in these vintage soldier boxes, look like 1960's style labels. I tried to match figures to their lid, but clearly there was no match for some of my sets.   

In this case, I tried to match the figures with the description on the box - and I have the type of soldier correct (*lancer, color bearer, etc.), but I have no idea if these are actually Saxony 2nd Hussar soldiers. I think I've cracked the original owners code, he listed (and the set contains) 1 color bearer, 1 officer (he said sgt mjr)m, 1 trumpter, 2 with lances. Each of the horses is very heavy and are, I think, solid cast. On 3 of the horses, the underside of the base has wording that looks like "Britains England, etc." The other horses have bellies that look like they were sanded and filled before painting. The average soldier is just under 3" to the top of his hat from the bottom of the base.

Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for vintage German and other metal animals, figural desk items by Heyde and other makers, vintage toy soldiers, steam engines and accessories, tin and windup toys, and vintage and out of print books on old toys. 

Taxes: eBay now automatically adds sales tax to your cost for items going to states that require it. 

Payment: I accept all the payment methods that eBay offers. Payment is due within four days from the end of the auction.  If your payment is not received within this time period the eBay automated sales tool takes over and starts hounding you. 

Shipping:  My auctions end on Saturday. If you pay by 5:00 E.S.T. on Sunday I'll have them in the mail on Monday. Payments made later in the week or purchases made from my store are shipped as soon as I can get to the Post Office, but that can take several days. I combine shipping on all purchases made and paid for at the same time (unless you're combining a book and toys as books use inexpensive media mail in the U.S. while toys can't).  I use First Class (up to 16 oz) and Priority mail. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I use lots of bubble wrap, peanuts, and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually. Original boxes or other original paper item go into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day.

International Shipping: I gladly ship international. Please note that there can be lengthy delays at Customs. Per eBay rules, import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges -- these charges are the buyer's responsibility. 

Return Policy: Returns are accepted. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them and I try and mention the significant condition issues I see. I value my eBay reputation and I'm not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy. I leave feedback so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item contact me first before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
