This finely sculpted 1/30 scale figure portrays a Union infantry lieutenant during the height of the American Civil War, captured in a dramatic moment of leadership under fire.
Clad in the regulation dark blue frock coat worn by Union officers, this junior officer distinguishes himself from the enlisted men around him, who often wore sack coats or state-issued alternatives. His light blue trousers and kepi, complete with an insignia denoting his rank and branch, complete the historically accurate uniform.
In his right hand, the officer wields his Model 1850 Foot Officer’s Sword — a standard sidearm for Union lieutenants — raised in a determined forward thrust. The scabbard in his left hand suggests he has just drawn the weapon moments before leading a charge. His posture, leaning forward with eyes locked on the enemy, conveys urgency, courage, and resolve — the embodiment of battlefield leadership.
This figure represents not just a soldier, but the thousands of junior officers who bore the responsibility of leading men into battle at places like Gettysburg, Antietam, and Chancellorsville — often facing terrifying odds and suffering heavy casualties.
Perfect for Civil War collectors and diorama builders, this piece pairs especially well with Union infantry sets, command groups, and field officer figures for recreating dynamic combat scenes.
