Not sure if this is the right place for this, but does anyone have any info on this lead miniature I picked up? It seems to be lead. The bottom says SAXON but it looks like it's been scratched into the base. It also has copyright 1982 on the bottom. I really like the paint job on it and plan on using it someday. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

I seem to recall there being a Saxon minis company back in the 1970s-80s, but I never had any.

You might try asking the guys at CoolMiniOrNot - The Internet's largest gallery of Painted Miniatures and Miniature Painting art - Site

My first thought was that it might have been an old Citadel monster, since they had things like Man-Fish and Goat-Ogre in their collection. And many of the bases for the bigger monsters had a similar shape.

But if it was from a company called Saxon like Danny suspected finding it might be really hard. You'll get tons of results for Anglo-Saxon miniatures.

Lost Minis Wiki might have it somewhere within:

Edit:

I just noticed that Lost Minis lists a company called Saxon Manufacturing. Look at their Fantasy Range. There's a mini called 'Space Dragon'. Looks similar.

Heh. Yeah, that's always the problem with looking for something with a common name. I remember one time I was tracking down this movie for my dad, and the name of the movie was Love. There's like fifty movies with that name.
