  2. Yes, they are lowland scots Britains set #212- Royal Scots, but are repainted to depict some different regiment. The piper is a typical glengarry piper from Britains used in most scots regiments, but also repainted.
    Of course I am assuming they are hollowcast, as are all Britains originals prior to 1966. In case they are solids, they are Britains copies.
    Check how heavy they are and check the base underneath for clear Britains engraved. If the engraving is there and there is a seam dividing the rectangle, they must be copies. Nice little group, though.
