I was wondering if any one knew when 1704 - Fort Apache first came out.
I know 1605 - Wild West came out in 1966 and contained this model but I can't seem to find a release date for this .

Thanks, but I'm seeking the date that set 1704 - Fort Apache was released - it did not contain the figures but just the fort.

M7, for some reason Fort Apache 1704 is not in the list! Its release date would be in the late 1960's. I will endeavour to get some more accurate information.

Sorry, couldn't resist on seeing the typo in the History listing.

It's probably a reference to the 1949 John Fort film "Ford Apache" with Joan Wayne and Henry Fondu. Shirley Tumble also appeared in it.

Yeah, i thought it was odd it wasn't on the list - I don't think there is a listing for 1705 - Sherwood Castle either.

The information I have is that Fort Apache 1704 might have been issued in 1967, but no earlier than that. Thanks for the other corrections.
