THE BRITAINS COLLECTION OF ANDREW ROSE (Lots 61 to 124) Andrew Rose is well known as the designer of Soldiers Soldiers and early Steadfast figures, as well as latterly, the designer and producer of the Bastion range of new toy soldiers. He is also the author of probably the most widely distributed book on toy soldiers, 'The Collector's All-Colour Guide to Toy Soldiers', which illustrates an astonishing number of figures in near life-size full colour, and is therefore much referred to by collectors. Andrew drew on the collection of Major Edmund Roche-Kelly for much of the content of the book, but it seems only appropriate that when his own collection is for sale, it shall follow in the order in which it appears in the book. Some items, of course, were not included. BANDS Rose pages 36 - 37
