Antique (victorian?) Toy Soldiers

By Judah, 3 September, 2011
Description

As I mentioned, I believe to be Victorian era or earlier. They are definitely from Great Britain, and were given to me as a gift from an Antique Store owner who was a close family friend. At the time (I was a young boy) I was told that they were quite valuable, but would be even more so later on. I don't know much about them, and have found it hard to identify them (brand, year etc.)

Below I have added some pictures, I have several more available. The paint is original, meaning that whoever owned them tried to paint them (you can see it is quite child-like), and some of them are slightly damaged (several missing bayonets, one horse missing foot). 

I have:

 

2 Cavalry

4 Horses

5 Officers

11 Infantry

1 Cannon missing barrel
