It's all Greek to me, or Italian.....maybe Rumanian?

 This is a "What are they" post.  I bought a unit of these on ebay because nobody wanted them, so they were dead cheap and I thought they might be useful for something, but looking at them now I'm not sure what they're supposed to be.  I put these two pics up on facebook asking which army they represent and got lots of likes but no answers, not even rude ones! 

The two officers on the left have been converted from Britains hollowcast German infantry by changing the heads and arm, the infantryman marching on the right is a modern white metal casting and has no marking. The officers have green epaulettes and trouser stripe, the infantryman is wearing gaiters and a blanket roll. It would be easy to say French but the uniform isn't quite horizon blue and the Adrian helmet was in widespread use by armies worldwide for decades.

It was only after taking these photos I realised that the paintwork needed quite a bit of touching up, which is fine but there are fourteen of them so I don't really want to get into a whole repaint if I can avoid it.

Can anyone suggest which army they are supposed to represent? I was thinking WW1 Greek or Italian, any other ideas?

The Mad Hatter - so rare he's uniuqe!

 I've had this little fellow for many years, I obtained him in a large junk lot of lead figures at a Phillips Auction in the early 1980's.  I don't know who made him but he's typical of the sort of conversions that members of the BMSS (British Model Soldier Society) had been making from toy figures since the mid 1930's.

He is the Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", who was trapped in a perpetual tea party for upsetting Time. I let him out once a year on All Fools Day. 

He is hollow cast lead and is a conversion made from the body of the Charbens Costermonger and the head from Britains Village Idiot, the crown of his hat is the upturned bucket from a zoo keeper (possibly Taylor & Barrett), the brim and his collar are made from metal strip. The price ticket in his hat reads 4/- (four shillings) which is an error because it should be 10/6 (ten shillings and sixpence). 

As a conversion he is a unique piece and I would love to know who made him, sadly whoever it was is probably no longer with us and has left us no indication.  I do wish modellers would leave some mark on their work for posterity but there we are, he remains a charming little character and for some decades has found a safe home among other such curiosities
