These arrived yesterday from a recent eBay purchase. I couldn’t resist the conversion possibilities-
Whilst I recognise some I am at a loss to identify many of them. By identify I don’t mean who made them but rather what headgear they represent. Many thanks in anticipation.
The two between 4 and 6 lookalike Phrygian caps, number two bonnets with black grouse feathers and number three the Tommy Cooper Appreciation Society off there heads.

An excellent haul - I look forward to a whole unit of Generals with plumed bicornes.
ReplyDeleteI fear will need be very creative to use them all up...
DeleteA great and useful lot. Perhaps a few too generals for the smooth running of an army, but a good batch none the less.
ReplyDeleteGenerally my feelings on the matter too.
