Two all-new K&C CLUB FIGURES (CF041 & CF042) are released. And they feature one of our favorite Imperial Police Forces – “The North West Mounted Police”

Established in 1873 this unit was the fore runner of today’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

It was founded to patrol the vast Northwest Territories of the Dominion of Canada and provide law and order where none was.  From the beginning it was organized like a British Army cavalry regiment of that time and was to wear red coats.

Our two “Mounties” are dressed in typical parade dress which remained in use from about 1876 until 1903.  Here, worn with a bandolier of rifle ammunition for the Winchester carbine.  The winter fur cap with the yellow “bag” and the white gauntlets is also worn alongwith a holstered sidearm attached to a long white lanyard.
