  3. Yes - it's a Marx 'Warriors of the World' ACW Officer, also available as a 25mm 'Miniature masterpiece', likewise the Vikings are also WOTW.

    Originally sold individually in a small box with a name, some poses had more than one 'name' over the years!

  5. The bottom US civil war(ACW) in grey and blue are not at all Hong Kong but made by CANE from Italy, it was first CANE set of only US civil war made by then, set has 6 poses and base in swoppet Britain poses minus artillery pose Britain detail copied.
    Cane then made a set after as US cavalry with Custer general pose ,these were made in grey and blue later as to be sold like US civil war too.
    IFfigures were copied and made in Hk after they may have a HK stamped below as typical Honk Kong figures.
    I have mint pack and set of then from CANE.
    Also set is very well described in two Italian books and History of CANE.
    Best regards.
