UK KNIGHT'S HORSES
1968 - 1972
VICTOR
Victor is Sir Percival's horse and is very similar to a US Bravo. He was however moulded in the UK as he has
a Louis Marx and Co stamp. The other difference is that his mane, tail and socks are painted white as opposed to
the cream colour on a US Bravo. His gold armour also seems to have been imported from the US as I have yet to see
any that matches Percival's brassy colour.

VALOUR
Valour is Sir Roland's horse and is very different from a US Valor. He is black in colour with a grey tail,
mane and socks. Another interesting point is his eyes are a reddish brown colour. He also came in a castle type
box and had 17 pieces of silver armour to match Sir Roland.

VALIANT
Valiant is Sir Cedric's horse. He is grey in colour and has a white tail, mane and socks. His armour is black
to match Sir Cedric and came in a castle style box. Valiant is quite rare and hard to find boxed. One word of
warning - the grey plastic used is prone to discolouration. Many of the Valiants I have seen turn a kind of green
colour when exposed to sunlight. The areas covered by the armour seem to be fine so I am convinced it is a light
problem rather than one of age.
Post 1970, it would appear that the UK Knight's horses continued to be produced in the castle style box.
