Vintage metal soldier figurine Del Prado old military Empire uniform

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Metal military figurine from the Del Prado brand, presented in a transparent plastic shell, with an original appearance. The soldier is depicted standing, in a detailed Empire-inspired uniform, characterized by a green jacket with gold epaulets, white trousers, black boots, and a tall helmet with a red plume. The entire piece is mounted on a round base, visible through the packaging. The uniform features careful paintwork, with details highlighting buttons, belt, and traditional military accessories.

The figurine is still protected by its original blister pack, suggesting good preservation of the paint and details, although some signs of aging and scratches are visible on the plastic packaging. The soldier wears a saber at his waist, and his upright posture evokes the regulation uniforms of the elite units of the First Empire. No specific markings or inscriptions are legible on the visible face of the base or packaging.

The soldier's finely painted face shows a neutral expression, typical of Del Prado historical figurines. The dominant colors—green, white, gold, red—are applied with precision, without noticeable bleeding. The red plume, enhancing the golden helmet, is a distinctive element, commonly associated with cavalry or Imperial Guard regiments of the 19th century.

The visible base is dark-colored, slightly raised, ensuring the stability of the figurine. The entire piece is presented in a rigid molded packaging, adapted to the shape of the character, practical for storage or display without unpacking. No additional accessories are apparent inside the blister pack.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The plastic packaging shows signs of wear, scratches, and handling marks visible on the front. The figurine itself appears to be in good general condition under the plastic, with no visible chips or breaks, but complete verification is not possible without opening.
