Indian Archer

 

This is the Indian Archer that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 27s and subsequently in the 75 catalogue as PB 27.

Both PB ranges were based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 27 in AMPW.

The 's' designation was used to distinguish the newer 25mm style of models from the preceding, smaller 1/72nd range. The transition was soon complete and the 's' - special - was dropped from the figure codes thereafter. 

The base is stamped PB 27 on the upper surface in the usual manner.

The archer is in a typical Minifigs pose and is armed with a huge bow and equally vast arrows.
