Help to identify some models, please

[c.milton]

Hi, can anybody identify the following tiny metal toy cars, lorries and tanks, please.

I have inherited them and was told they are "valuable" but can't see any maker's names on them to research more information about them.

They are all made of metal, as far as I can tell.

Please note, they are NOT for sale, they are keepers.

Thank you.

I had that Land Rover. In fact still have it. Do some Googling around ‘Lone Star Gulliver County’.

[Yertis]

This has piqued my interest because I had a Lone Star '000' railway when I was very small – 000 was forerunner of N-gauge and I'm still collecting N-gauge stuff now – one day I'll build a railway to run it on. I think the Land Rover I have was included as a load on a wagon. But I'm not sure the other items are Lone Star – from what I can tell the range was quite limited, and didn't include tanks etc. Maybe those you have were used for wargaming or something.

NSU Ro80
Citroën DS

If you have closer pics, as well as from underneath, then we could determine the manufacturer

Those might be by Wiking.

Hi Yertis, thank you! You are correct about the Land Rover - I have attached a pic of the underside showing "Lone Star'! I don't know how I missed it before - I only read the "Made in England" mark. In ny defence, it is tiny, tiny writing!

I have also attached some more pictures of the 4 cars, including the undersides. It gives the name of the cars and, I think, the word "Spain" - but I cannot make out the triangle symbol at all.

Thank you so much for your help! I will post up more pics of the military vehicles later.

Thank you! I have posted some more pics - apart from the car "model", I can see the word "Spain" (I think!) but cannot make out what the symbol/triangle says or means.

Here are the military vehicles - the turrets turn on the tanks, the trailer articulates and detaches on the truck and they all feel "heavy" for their size. But no markings that I can see.

I just noticed this on the tractor unit of the truck when I was uploading the other images. I think part ot the problem may be my eyesight!
