The Silver Army, or Silver Soldiers Collection, from HotCo gives you the chance to advance your interest in the iconic green army men. These arent the plastic warriors of your youth that you may have used to reenact the battle between West and East during the Cold War. Each of these silver statues is made of sterling silver, .925 pure silver content, and is 1:24 of its actual size in real life.
Arty Red Leg is the artillery loader and you can see the grit written all over his face as he hauls his 105 mm HE round to the howitzer for loading. The green army men of the 20th century were often portrayed as World War II era soldiers. The 105 mm HE round was the most commonly used in the M101 howitzer, an iconic piece of American artillery that had a 7ft 7in barrel length and a maximum firing range of 7 miles. Once Arty got his round loaded, it was truly out of sight, out of mind after firing.
The 4 oz Antique Finish Silver Soldiers Collection Arty Red Leg Statue depicts Arty as he carries that 105 mm HE round to the howitzer (artillery piece not included). The term red leg as it applies to Arty helps to distinguish him from his fellow soldiers. By 1834, the United States Military had regulations in place that assigned a branch color to each unit of the United States Army, with artillery assigned scarlet, or red. Officers and NCOs wore a stripe of red piping down the outer seam of their trousers as an identifying branch color, hence the term red leg.
All of these 4 oz Antique Finish Silver Soldiers Collection Arty Red Leg Statues are available to you with antique polish, a Certificate of Authenticity, and protective box at the time of purchase.
