U.S. Marine Dress Uniform 1859 – Pre-Civil War Marine on Duty

Model: 13050
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte
Set Includes: Single Figure (boxed)

This finely sculpted and historically authentic figure portrays a United States Marine in full dress uniform as seen circa 1859, just prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Standing at attention with his M1855 .58 caliber rifled musket and socket bayonet, this Marine reflects the crisp discipline and proud traditions of the Corps in its early years.

His uniform features the stunning blue frock coat with red piping—an early ancestor of today’s Marine Corps “Dress Blues.” The brass scale epaulettes and French-style shako with wool pom-pom highlight the influence of European military fashion on mid-19th century American uniforms. Rich in detail from musket fittings to regimental straps, this figure offers a glimpse into the evolution of Marine Corps heritage.

A superb addition for collectors of early U.S. military history, Civil War-era displays, or Marine Corps memorabilia.
