I never have any luck finding anything horse shaped at boot sales but I obviously struck lucky this time!<br /><br />Ok, not sure how much you want in terms of measurements but here we go:<br /><br />Nose to tail - 225mm<br />Ground to withers - 140mm<br />Ground to highest point of crest - 170mm<br />Width at widest part (the bum, heh) - 73mmLast Alliance Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275905651993894510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616758885837326371.post-76784345912866050012015-06-11T15:24:29.715-07:002015-06-11T15:24:29.715-07:00Oh that's disappointing, I was hoping it was a...Oh that's disappointing, I was hoping it was an actual copy! I don't collect clinkies as a rule, and I don't have any HRs to compare to so I was just going by rough visuals rather than anything more concrete, haha!<br />I'm glad you like her though, despite not being the 'real deal' as it were, she looks nice on my windowsill, surveying the rest of my collection. :)Last Alliance Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275905651993894510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616758885837326371.post-24918927594841594842015-06-09T09:03:10.204-07:002015-06-09T09:03:10.204-07:00Very interesting copy!

It is not a direct recast, but a very nice Japan-sculpted copy.Kristina Lucas Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983943306067521376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616758885837326371.post-89797928281581836532015-06-08T04:30:37.039-07:002015-06-08T04:30:37.039-07:00I found one of the above 'foreign stamped Crus...I found one of the above 'foreign stamped Crusader copies last year at a car boot sale!

The Belgian registry said that not all owner transfers get reported to them, and the only interim owner reported to them (between Fillmore and Virginia owners) was in Compton, CA.<br /><br />Would you please share a photo of the Japan copy? I'd like to see it!Kristina Lucas Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983943306067521376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616758885837326371.post-6421249695688928802012-05-06T04:24:21.368-07:002012-05-06T04:24:21.368-07:00A friend owns a 1960s edition of Arabian Horse Wor...A friend owns a 1960s edition of Arabian Horse World magazine, which notes Sespe Violette as being in the ownership of Kellogg Ranch at Pomona. If this is accurate, it would explain how Maureen Love became acquainted with her.<br /><br />I have an exceptional Japan copy Crusader in bay - it looks as if it was a direct copy moulded from an original rather than a resculpted copy. I nearly did backflips when I found her (in the UK) before I realised HR didn't release her in bay!AardFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100339881217961990noreply@blogger.com
