a Mythical 19th Century Land written and published by well-known
toy soldier maker, Professor Harold Pestana.

imaginary story of a make believe island colony of 19th century
England, “Bermudiana” the prettiest 19th century British Colony.

of said regiments, as well as some of the traditions of the regiments.

colors of the regiments.
There
is also a really cool folded map tucked into the book.
