1976 Canadian Mountie
The 1976 Canadian Mountie differs in many respects from the 1967 release. It was sold a a window box with bilingual English and French labeling. The pants are a brighter blue, and the jacket has thick plastic buttons rather than the thin metal ones of the first release set. The 1976 version came exclusively with black jackboots, numbered 1 and 2 on the heels. The hat is a more brittle plastic than the original version. The collar badges are also different. The pistol is a plain Lebel revolver without the lanyard of the first version. The belt also has a few different details in the way it is constructed. Down the road I'll add some detailed photos to show those.
