Upper Class Saxon Warrior

This is the Upper Class Saxon Warrior that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 192. 

Both PB ranges were based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 92 in the first edition of AEIR.

The code numbers for the AEIR range correspond to the illustrations in the book plus '100', i.e. illustration 1 is figure 101, and so on.

The base is stamped PB 192 on the upper surface in the usual manner.

The description of this chap does suggest a Marxist evocation of the class struggle that is rarely a feature of our wargames. It's quite a plain figure - perhaps his lack of expensive, flashy equipment reflects aristocratic good taste.
