This is toy soldier 31443 - Confederate Infantry Marching with Knapsack Wearing Depot Jacket

This unique product features a Confederate soldier marching with a knapsack and wearing a depot jacket. The soldier is carrying the Model 1841 'Mississippi' Rifle, which gained its nickname during the Mexican War when Jefferson Davis was appointed Colonel of the Mississippi Rifles. This rifle, with its brass hardware, is considered one of the most handsome weapons of its time and is synonymous with the American Civil War.

The rifle was originally produced in .54 caliber, but many were converted to .58 caliber before the war to accept standard ammunition used by the federal government. Known for its accuracy, the Mississippi Rifle was highly desirable and used in both armies, primarily in flank companies within infantry regiments.

This product is a 1/30 scale figure with a matte finish, and comes in a single box. It is a must-have for any collector or history enthusiast, as it captures a significant piece of American history in stunning detail.
