I would like to acquire this set of dolls of the Zouaves of Brazil in the Paraguayan War. How much would it be? I'm a public elementary school teacher in Brazil and it would be really nice to explain a little bit about the history.

Much of the Argentine army could easily be built up from French figures. The practical Germans, of course, would never have put up with those fluffy uniforms (except for the cavalry) - why would you ever use red when you could have a good dark blue and grey - and the British would have no part in that Continental nonsense!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-55641927539451034672022-02-27T11:20:11.812+13:002022-02-27T11:20:11.812+13:00I once has the idea of buying some red pants until...I once has the idea of buying some red pants until her indoors gave me an odd look…I figured of I go them baggy enough I could develop a party trick of MC Hammer impressions!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-2993102405275333452022-02-27T11:17:41.729+13:002022-02-27T11:17:41.729+13:00Thanks Stu.Thanks Stu.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-50842290595203763422022-02-27T11:17:04.288+13:002022-02-27T11:17:04.288+13:00Thanks Phil…vive la Zouaves!Thanks Phil…vive la Zouaves!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-69552891252136328202022-02-27T11:16:32.508+13:002022-02-27T11:16:32.508+13:00The ”need” for more ACW Zouaves is growing!The ”need” for more ACW Zouaves is growing!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-88084151749152597742022-02-27T09:17:37.167+13:002022-02-27T09:17:37.167+13:00I never knew about the Brazilian Zouaves, but I su...I never knew about the Brazilian Zouaves, but I suppose it makes sense.
