This is a pewter figurine from an unknown sculptor entitled "Confederate Infantry Private". The pewter figure of a Confederate infantryman comes on an attractive oval wooden base that measures 4 3/4" by 3 1/2" and is approximately 5 1/2" tall. The sculptor went into great detail, showing the Private in the thick of the fighting, reloading his musket. He holds his rifle with his left hand, His right hand is removing the ramrod from the barrel. Johnny Reb wears a five button sack coat, trousers and brogans. His oval belt plate with belt and cap box are clearly visible. His cartridge box with breast plate is slung over his left shoulder, while his bedroll and canteen are slung over his right shoulder. Ol' Johnny wears a slouch hat without any insignia. The wooden base has a pewter banner that reads Confederate Infantry Private, with a drum, US and Confederate flag on the left side. This piece would make a great desk ornament or a decorator piece in your war room, perhaps the perfect birthday or Christmas gift!
