The Billingsgate was known as good and sometimes gruesome soldiers. When they were not paid well enough they easily started to loot. Lansquenet is an archaic variant of Landsknecht. Lansquenet is a banking game played with cards, named after the French spelling of the German word "Landsknecht" (servant of the land, or country); the lansquenet drum is a type of field drum used by these soldiers.James Barton, producer of Barton Miniatures, Ltd. 90mm white metal figures, began in 1978 and sculpted by Richard J. Almond. Richard Almond sculpted first for Seagull (shop in London), under the brand name Realmodel (120mm-140mm) in 1977.
