Of course I nipped down anyway just to see. It included some items that would prove useful.
First up there were 5 artillery pieces although one was missing a barrel which I will have to find a replacement for.
I remember having a Hinchcliffe gun and that they had small indents in the barrels and small roundels inside the gun carriage.
Well I am confident that these are indeed Hinchcliffe artillery and I am pleased to add these to my collection.
Also included where 7 more Hinton French Officers and these will be used to officer my new battalions I plan to get from John Cunningham. There were also 2 French elite Hussars.
Interesting there were a few other items including what I believe are Douglas Miniatures Spanish and a Alberken/Minifig 20mm British Officer.
There were a few Minifig S range figures, which I don't need, however one is rather nicely painted so may make into my French army.
I have feel lucky to have found so many Hinton Hunt figures over the last few weeks and it certainly had helped to get this project progressing along nicely.

Lucky you - nice painted figures !
You certainly have had some luck but I think these figures deserve to have the good home you have found them!
You are providing a wonderful nostalgia trip through your blog posts - they all look absolutely splendid in that classic way.

There are enough officers there for six battalions, Mark! This is starting to get very serious.
