This antique set of soldiers is not in mint condition because it has been played with over the generations. There are three British Cavalry Grenadier Guards, two “Beef Eater” British soldiers, one carrying the British flag, the other a rifle, a sentry box and a lead holder for a cannon.
These soldiers, with moveable arms have been clearly played with often, as they are worn with use. I have also included two extra Cavalry soldiers plus a Beef Eater, all with their heads broken off (having seen too many battles) because a collector may make a repair or use out of these extra soldiers. Again, I am fully away that these are not in mint condition but they are antique, probably around 1915 and hand painted. As you can see from the photos, one sword is broken off, a horse leg is bent and possibly missing a hoof, but he still stands. The Cavalry are 3” high and standing soldiers are 3” high.

These lead soldiers are vintage items for adult collectors and not meant for children. They are made of lead and the paint may contain lead.
