Infantry Reaching for a Cartridge – Union Soldier in Action Model: CW135 Scale: 1/30 Finish: Matte
Depicted in a moment of urgency and determination, this Union infantryman toy soldier reaches behind to retrieve a fresh paper cartridge from his leather pouch—ready to reload and rejoin the fray. His musket, fitted with bayonet, is held steady as he prepares for the next shot in the heat of battle.
Civil War soldiers on both sides typically carried their ammunition in a cartridge box secured to a crossbelt. These boxes could hold around 40 paper cartridges, each containing pre-measured gunpowder and a lead ball. The reloading process under fire was intense and demanded both discipline and courage.
This Military Miniature figure is authentically detailed, wearing the uniform of a Union volunteer—complete with rolled blanket, haversack, and knapsack—representing the grit and resilience of the common soldier. A vital piece for any collector looking to portray battlefield realism in miniature.
