One of my grail pieces arrived today! I’ve been looking for a Cotswold Navy Beach Battalion figure for years. I did a kitbash using the Cotswold helmet several years ago, but the original always eluded me. A collecting buddy gave me the heads up for this guy, who was inaccurately described in the auction. He now has a front row perch in my display case!

Nice find! It's always a thrill to find a long-sought figure!
You have some sharp-eyed scouts out there working for you, it sounds like!

Pretty cool. I like the Berdan's Sharpshooter figure too!

Indeed a great find! I really like the "barking orders" mouth on the other guy too!

Thanks! I have a complete sideshow Berdan as well as a DML figure in a berdan carded set. Here is a better pic of the two of them.

Thanks! The original sideshow shoes don’t fit over the DML feet, so he’s wearing the brogans that originally came with the Soldiers of the World Artillery Quartermaster Sergeant set.
