Federal in Frock Coat Reaching

This Federal in Frock Coat Reaching for Cap, No.2 figure captures the tense moment just before firing, as a Union infantryman prepares his rifle for action during the American Civil War.

Model 31371 is a 1/30 scale, hand-painted figure finished in matte. It is packaged as a single piece set.

The soldier wears the regulation Union frock coat, blue trousers, and a Hardee-style hat, standard for Union line infantry and often seen during the early and middle years of the war. His gear includes a cartridge box, cap pouch, and bayonet scabbard—each rendered in fine detail, showcasing the authenticity of the uniform and equipment.

He is shown reaching for a percussion cap, a small but critical component in the firing sequence of a rifled musket. The invention of the percussion cap system around 1807 marked a major improvement in firearm reliability, replacing the older flintlock and matchlock systems. This innovation greatly enhanced battlefield performance, especially in the unpredictable and fast-moving engagements of the Civil War.

This figure embodies that precise instant of battle readiness—a moment of calm, training, and routine amid the chaos of war. Ideal for collectors building a diorama or capturing the realism of Civil War combat.
