In the last few days over on his In the Grand Manner blog Matt has posted scans of an original Pax Britannica catalogue from 1984 (ish) and and the 20mm pages from an RSM/Pax Britannica catalogue from 1986.
Something about Pax Britannica has been on my to do list for a long time (I remember ordering some figures on their first appearance in 1984, while I was living briefly in Bethnal Green, and in common with few others having my cheque cashed but no figures arriving...) Lovely figures though, so hopefully some pictures to come in the future.

Scruby dooby doo
I have posted some additional pictures below, all of 25mm Scruby figures. Some of these are taken from the review page of Jack Scruby's Wargamer's Digest magazine from the 1970s; the Crimean figures are the pictures Matt requested.
I have also posted over on my Vintage Wargaming blog an article on a typical day at Scruby Miniatures, from Table Top Talk in September 1965.

These pictures are of two of the Scruby Crimean War Russian Infantry. 3644 is in Picklehaub helmet and greatcoat, on guard, and 3646 is the firing figure.

Scruby Miniatures black and white photos from John C Candler's Miniature Wargames du temps de Napoleon
John C Candler self-published this famous set of early wargames rules in 1964 - a little information can be found here in an earlier post on my Vintage Wargaming blog.
The rules are illustrated with black and white pictures of Jack Scruby's 30mm Napoleonics range. I don't know whether the 30mm figures and 25mm figures are the same poses in different sizes, but the pictures are here for interest.
The photographs are attributed to Tom Bookwalter and to Pete Nungesser.
