Knights of Avalon

 

Timpo Quentin Durward Series (1954)

  This was also the third time Timpo teamed up with MGM to produce a set of model figures in the likeness of the main characters . 

The figures as before were lead /hollow-cast in 54mm scale, being the last metal set designed by Norman Tooth.

The weapons are all  detachable and apart from the lances are painted metal.

As with the earlier Knights of the Round Table and Ivanhoe figure they were packed individually in a cardboard box, usually with a stick on label. I have also seen them in plain boxes, with code number on end flap only, perhaps they sometimes ran out of labels .
