Bradford Exchange Marine Officer Bronze Figurine

Description

Cast in cold-cast bronze, this figurine depicts an early United States Marine Corps officer in full dress uniform, saber raised overhead mid-stride. The detailing captures the tasseled shako hat, epaulettes, crossed sash, sword frog, and knee-high boots typical of the Marine uniform from the Barbary Wars era, all mounted on a rocky bronze-finished plinth atop a black base inscribed in gold lettering with “To the Shores of Tripoli.”

A printed label on the underside identifies the piece as the second edition in the “Semper Fi – History of the Marine Corps” cold-cast bronze collection, an officially licensed product of the United States Marine Corps produced by The Bradford Exchange. The base carries item code 01-32016-002 and a handwritten edition number, with the run described as limited to 295 casting days.

The figurine remains in good overall display condition with the gilt-bronze finish intact throughout. The black base shows light surface scuffing and faint scratches on the underside consistent with normal handling and shelf display, and the sculpted rock-effect plinth shows minor wear to the raised bronze highlights.
