U.S.A line infantry

Suppliment moulds for 402/PA851 for creating figures of pre 1902 era. The great European powers dominated the world in the period of 1900 to 1914 and this mould includes U.S.A line infantry from the Pre 1902 era. These are parade ground uniforms.
This blister contains a single durable black rubber mould that casts 54mm scale fully round metal miniatures of toy soldiers. This is compatible with the PA851 Set (contains A,B and C moulds). It does NOT contain arms or weapons, those items are cast from the PA851 Mould set. This is NOT a stand alone mould but an extension of the previous set.
In 1900 the U.S infantry wore a spiked helmet based on the Prussian Pickelhaube which had been introduced in 1881. The helmet was black with a gilt eagle at the front. The Jacket for officers was double breasted while that of the other ranks was single. At the end of the Spanish - American war in 1902 some modifications were introduced which continued until Americas entry into the Great War. The spiked helmet was replaced by a soft peaked cap which had a gold U.S eagle badge on the front. Uniform details were very much the same as the older uniform for both officers and men with some minor changes in buttons and cuffs. This extension mould allows you to convert the post-1902 uniforms (PA851) to the earlier 1900 uniform.
