Mr.Jerry Posted October 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2018 These are actually pretty nice figures, often confused as US Civil war, but they are actually a 1870 French solider and Sailor (Marine). The original bronzes were done by famous artist Aristide Croisy, these slag metal ones were recast from the molds and sold by a Department store in the 1920's I believe. They still capture some great filed gear details of the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratasfan Posted November 5, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 5, 2018 Oh, super cool! Thanks for sharing! I would never had known they were Franco-Prussian. I'm always intrigued by the Franco-Prussian war. How big are these statues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
