Knights of Avalon

 

Heyde toy knights

Heyde Toy Knights. George Heyde started his company in 1872 in Dresden closing it doors in the early 1940's.

Mainly the range was to a scale of 48mm. and most of the mounted Knights rode horse's which are best described as fattened flat style. The Knights are detachable and well painted in bright gloss.

The examples here of the 48mm scale are the exception to the  flats style of horse, they are nicely rounded without the usual Heyde base.
