DO NOT AIM AT FACE . . . "You'll 'av someone's eye out with that!" Further to the set of four Accoutrements pirates in the intro' post, they had been commissioned, earlier, for the long-running series of catapult novelties, from Accoutrements/Archie McFee - we've seen the cats here, and there have been nuns, grannies, dogs, tarts, I think, all sorts, over the years.
A good friend of mine has been sorting his late brother's estate, and found this in a damp corner, and as a friend of the brother, I'd rather have this than a minted one off-of that feebleBay. A target on the back of the card gives you something to aim your Prates at!
The figures, in a better resolution than the previous image, you get the four, they're a semi-rigid, replacement PVC type polymer, and I think the blue-jacket is a lady, so there's no sexism in the human ammunition!
A flinging firearm, the catapult pistol! I think some of the later sets have a more simple device, or am I thinking of the small-box novelty displays in
Waterstone's? Anyway, all a bit of Pirate-projectile fun!
