I have two undead minis (a zombie and a skeleton) which looks like 1ed minis. But 2ed minis are exactly the same ones.
I think this could be the molding date (1987 on my minis) but I don't which could be the date on 2ed minis...
How to know if a mini is a 1ed or a 2ed?

hmmm
not sure as they shouldn't, and haven't been molded at the same time.
Perhaps they share the same mold, but as they hadn't been released during the same period, I don't know how to make the difference, if difference there is...

It's the same mould
1st ed. minis were created between 1985-1988, they were discontinued except the Dwarf, Skeleton and Zombie after that.
The 2nd ed. minis were sculpted 1988-1989 and were in production (along with the 1st ed Skelli, Zombie and Dwarf) until 2000 (After 1994 only via Mail Order, though).
So if you have a Zombie mini it could have been produced btw. 1985/88-1999. The only way to tell the "period" is if it's dark pewter (earlier) or shiny pewter (later).

Not sure for the second Ed sculpting period. I have a 2Ed orc blitzer which has been made in 1987...
