In 2020 I was buying many broken or beaten up Britains figures and repairing those for my 54mm armies (I'm doing a lot more homecasting now). I went back through my account history and was able to capture these images of lots I have purchased, posted here for posterity and reference.

This was a good lot - all those headless bodies to convert! The batch of zouaves was a nice bonus. |

The two generals in this lot were a score. This is where my 3 SA Mounted Rifle figure came from, plus several partial highland units! And the easiest figures to find and buy - mounties!

More mounties. The two lancer bodies in upper left were eventually restored into a complete unit of 5. |

Fairly old Egyptian lancers. Great condition - all tails and legs intact! These have been restored/repaired, but I need one more for a unit of 5. |

More of the Egyptian lancer lot. The Skinners Horse figures were weird - they were covered in dirt! I rinsed them in vinegar and scrubbed a bit with a toothbrush to clean off. |

Lastly, a good sized lot of Royal Marines, which only needed new replacement arms. |
Some are in very rough shape.
