U.S. Marine NCO 1898

U.S. Marine NCO 1898 – Spanish–American War Marine

Model: 13038
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte
Presentation: Single figure boxed

This detailed figure represents a U.S. Marine Non-Commissioned Officer during the Spanish–American War of 1898. Wearing the Marine Corps’ classic dark blue field uniform with red NCO chevrons and armed with a Krag–Jørgensen rifle fixed with bayonet, this Marine reflects the disciplined resolve of America’s emerging expeditionary force.

In 1898, U.S. Marines established their reputation for courage in fierce engagements at Guantanamo Bay, Cienfuegos, and Fajardo. Despite shortages of khaki field gear early in the war, Marines deployed in their traditional blue wool service uniforms with black leather cartridge belts and campaign gear—faithfully reproduced here with historical accuracy.

A perfect addition for collectors of U.S. military history, Spanish–American War displays, or early Marine Corps heritage.
