Item Description
WBritain 16207 Clash of Empires British 43rd Regiment of Foot Company Officer, Standing, 1780
The sword had always been a symbol of status on and off the battlefiield, but with the introduction of firearms, its importance as a primary weapon rapidly diminished. The sword was now largely relegated to the officer class and cavalry. However, some armies, like the French, still issued them to the rank and file through the Napoleonic Wars -and no self-respecting Scotsman would be caught without his claymore and dirk. It is important to note that officers had to purchase their own swords, thus many, if not all, were of better quality and construction than those issued in general service. Many were artfully embellished with intricately carved handles, guards, and pommels, and decorative bluing on the blade.
WBritain one the oldest names in military miniatures brings you another spectacular offering from the clash of empire series. This WBritain 16207 Clash of Empires British 43rd Regiment of Foot Company Officer, Standing, 1780 is hand painted and beautifully sculpted in 1/30 scale.
