A vintage toy soldier set manufactured by Britains Ltd. featuring twelve hand-painted metal figures representing Arab warriors or desert tribesmen. The set includes four mounted cavalry figures on horses and eight foot soldiers in various combat stances, equipped with rifles, spears, and scimitars. The figures are decorated in vibrant robes of red, blue, yellow, and green. The set is housed in its original red cardboard window box with a cardboard tray insert. The front of the box features a decorative label depicting a British Guardsman and a trade mark label with the W. Britain cursive signature and Regd. No. 459993. The reverse of the box, titled Let's Fight a Battle, contains detailed basic rules for model warfare, tactical diagrams for troop movement, and instructions for determining casualties. The figures are constructed of hollow-cast metal, a hallmark of the manufacturer's traditional production methods.
