London, 1929-1930. 

Each raised on a wooden base applied with date, the group comprising: a Charles II pikeman, the base applied with the date 1660; various models of Grenadier Guards wearing arms and accoutrements, including an example wearing a mitre cap (1792), a figure modelled as a guardsman during the Jacobite rising (1745); a 19th century guardsman (1815); a 20th century example in a bearskin hat; and a guardsman holding a Lee-Enfield bolt action rifle, together with a Grenadier Guards drummer, the drum engraved with the regimental badge and inscribed 1st battalion Grenadier Guards., the base applied with presentation plaque dated 1931, models approx. 19.5cm high, in fitted wooden box (6)
