PA21: 40mm Scale 18th Century Standard Bearer advancing mould

Standard Bearers had the extremely important job of guarding the flag. Flags were used for indicating battle movements but also as a rallying point when things go badly in battle. To lose a flag was a terrible moral blow to any army and a huge honor to the soldier responsible for capturing it.

This is a vulcanised black rubber mould that can be reused hundreds of times. The figures can be painted in the uniforms of 1700-1760 for England, France, Sweden, Prussia and Russia.

The master figures were initially carved out of wood and still retain some features of a wood carving. Many of these were re-made when we moved over to rubber moulds which could produce more rounded figures (Karoliners).

These early flats are quite hard to cast and require more of the detail to be 'painted in' than our more modern series.

This semi-flat range was remodeled as more rounded figures. The more rounded equivalent for this figure is PAS904.

This product is not suitable for children under the age of 14.
