This 1/30 scale figure portrays a soldier of Washington’s Life Guard—the elite unit formed in 1776 to protect General George Washington and the vital assets of the Continental Army. Sculpted in a dynamic kneeling pose, musket leveled and bayonet fixed, this Guardsman embodies the discipline and courage of the men who served closest to the Commander-in-Chief.
Authorized at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1776, the Life Guard was composed of “sober, intelligent, and reliable men” handpicked from across the Continental regiments. Their duties included guarding Washington’s person, headquarters, and the army’s treasury and records. Despite their small size—never exceeding 250 men—the Guard’s reputation for loyalty and steadiness made them a symbol of the professionalism emerging within the Continental Army.
This figure captures a moment of resolute focus on the battlefield, with meticulous attention to period accuracy in the blue-and-buff uniform, white crossbelts, and early American equipment. A perfect companion piece to other Washington’s Guard figures, it brings life and authenticity to any Revolutionary War display.
