Archer Jokers: A subsection of the Fighting Jokers

In the fighter section, there are sections for fighters with swords, fighters with swords and money (moneybags!), fighters with halbards (long poles which have sharp points and a hook for pulling horsemen off their horses, fighters with swords or other manual weapons, archers, and people with guns. 

 




 I love the archer on the flying horse below. But I fear that I have double-counted him since this joker also appears on the fantasy horse section. It's on the list of items to fix but for the moment, pardon my double counting..


My Congress matching joker of Diana with a bow and arrow is also in the archery subsection of the fighter section.  I keep the joker with the deck which is why there is only a photocopy of her in the joker album.  The leather box says 1899 but the deck might be from 1903.


Here's the archers all together. Many of the archers came in a deck where the other joker had a different weapon. I keep the sets together and put them here.



 This post is an effort to update my online record of the fighters. Note that if the fighter has both a sword and halbard, they go in the halbard sectiion. And right now, fighters with clubs or wrestlers are in with the swords. 

Here is the whole suite of articles about jokers who are fighters.

Fighters with swords. Or spears, daggers, clubs, or no weapons
Money bags jokers. ie Fighters with swords and bags of money
Fighters with halberds (poles with sharp points, an axe blade, and a hook for pulling horsemen off their horse)
Archers and pairs of fighters where one is an archer - THIS article
