This finely hand-painted 1/30 scale figure portrays an officer of Washington’s Life Guard—the elite corps charged with protecting General George Washington and the Continental Army’s headquarters. Standing resolutely, pike in hand, the officer surveys the battlefield as his men prepare to meet the British advance. His calm yet commanding posture conveys the discipline and determination that defined the Continental Army during the War of Independence.
Formed in 1776 at Cambridge, Massachusetts, Washington’s Guard was composed of select soldiers chosen for their loyalty, intelligence, and composure under pressure. Beyond defending the Commander-in-Chief himself, these men safeguarded vital military papers, treasury funds, and headquarters operations. Their professionalism and dedication symbolized the unity of the new American cause.
This figure, dressed in the Guard’s distinctive blue coat with buff facings and red waistcoat, captures the refinement and resolve of a Continental officer on campaign. The pike—a traditional symbol of authority—serves as both weapon and emblem of leadership. Perfect for dioramas or collections depicting Revolutionary command and discipline.
