A third grouping consists of a Highland infantryman in a firing pose and an infantry drummer in traditional reverse colours, featuring a white coat with red facings and lace, playing a drum decorated with the British Royal Coat of Arms. A small rectangular white adhesive label with the handwritten number 9703 is affixed to the scenic ground of the central base. The figures exhibit the characteristics of high-end connoisseur miniatures produced by specialist manufacturers such as Chas C. Stadden or the W. Britain connoisseur range.
