At some point an unknown individual took it upon himself/herself to recast A and B with 2 different style heads. It looks like this person took 2 hats both from blunderbuss models and swapped them with A and B, essentially making 2 different models (I assume for variety purposes).
I was lucky enough to come across several of these models on ebay for a relatively cheap price to add to my existing collection of them. I figured I’d throw up a picture to share since these don’t come up very often.
The models themselves are brilliant. The metal seems to be the exact same as regular GW metal and there are no obvious defects or miscasts.
This pic shows some regular A and B models mixed in with what I believe are recasts.

I know I should have bought them...:) I regret now but I'm glad it's someone of us who bought them:)
I'm really intrigued by the fact that they are recast or not. Several people said that they got them FROM GW. And many others told that it wasn't possible...
As far as I know they are definitely recasts. Unless GW just never released them, which I feel is pretty unlikely.
What sets them apart is how well they are done. The hats have been switched but still the eyebrows/all the little details. The pewter seems to be exactly the same as the pewter GW uses.
