Can anyone tell me about this sculpture?

Interesting.

It's possible.
However, a quick search for Ron Lyon sculptures yields several pages. Most notably this:
Those figures could easily be mistaken for fright-knights, but are apparently grim reapers.
Google images also shows a number of sculptures relating to death and mysterious cloaked figures. I guess it's difficult to determine where "grim reaper figures" end and "frightknight trophies" begin

Just a note on this and I apologise if you know this already. There was a series
of Knights and the reapers ect of which I am lucky to own the reaper. All are individual and were all made with alot of hard work. So much so that arthritis (if I remember) was the cause of the series to stop. He and is wife stuck to pottery figures after that. They were a lovely couple and could be seen at the craft fairs frequently. I wish I was financially able at the time to buy more. The figures created a great atmosphere when looked at. I loved them. Even my mum liked the reaper.
Cheers Ray.

Ps. The date for these is mid to late eighties app.

Ron Lyon was my grandfather. I can just about remember him making
The knightmare knights I used to watch the show
There are several different knights.

Oh, I'm very sad to hear that Ron is no longer with us - I really love his Frightknight designs, and I was just recently reading his article in The Quest.
Belated condolences! And thank you for letting us know. -
I'm also sorry to hear that.
I'm fortunate to have one of his specimens, and it's one of my proudest possessions.

I have just looked at the artical with my grandpa in, he gave me one of those jumpers he is wearing when I was little. My mum has one of the knight he is holding. I only have his resin cast statues which although compleatly different to his knights are still amazing to own.
-
If you can take a photo of the resin casts, I'd love to put it up on the web site.
-
Can you show us some images?
-
heh.
I think you're being excessively optimistic in selling them for £300. I think the last such sculptures sold for about £30? Although I wouldn't mind buying one for knightmare.com purposes.
As for their relationship to Knightmare, I'm fairly sure that they're actually supposed to be grim reapers. Ron Lyon was, at least, known for producing such sculptures before his work on the Knightmare frightknight.

hi thanks for your reply, i have no idea what the worth is of the sculptures, so i have listed them at maybe a high price .
the way i see it is what can you buy for £30 ,i feel these are becoming rare to find and they are really well made ,i would be open to a fair offer ,considering no more will be made !
kind regards adspics
-
Well, they're worth what people are prepared to pay for them. No more, no less
I see that the auctions have now ended. If you do re-list the items, please let us know. I'm sure there are a few people here who would be interested in purchasing one of Ron Lyon's sculptures.
As I've already said, for knightmare.com, I'd also be interested in buying one of these. But not at £300 I'm afraid
