Identify These Figures?

Through a trade, I picked up some Highlanders. 6 standing firing, and 12 kneeling firing. But the fellow I picked them up from didn't know what maker they were. Can anyone identify the manufacturer and a part number? I need to acquire another 6 standing firing, 6 grenadier-type figures, and a compliment of officers, musicians, etc if I can.

If I can form a proper battalion from them, these will form the basis of Hesse-Engelburg's first Highland regiment. Probably mercenary, but I'm not totall decided on that.

I've no idea . . . except that they are of a different manufacturer than the ones I picked up at a "bring and buy" some 25 years ago . . . of course, I don't know what manufacturer they are either.

Thanks for confirming the identification, Rich!

And Jean-Louis, these will be in Hesse-Engelburg's army. Most probably a battalion of mercenaries, but I'm not completely decided.

Hmmm,

I'm thinking that I might have some Scots in Stagonian service (they are based on France after all) . . . and base them as irregulars to match/counter the Croats in Saxe-Bearstein service.

That's an idea anyway.

The more I ponder, the more I like the idea of making them a regiment raised by a Jacobite immigrant.
