Black Stallion
The Black Stallion was introduced in 1981 and represents the equine star of The Black Stallion novel by Walter Farley and its subsequent movies. The mold has a round "Breyer Molding Co." stamp, and early models have the "B" stamp as well. The Black Stallion was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #401.
A symbol means that I don't yet have a picture of that model. If you can help, please see the Help Wanted section. Clicking on any photo below will open a larger version of that picture.
