Between Fall 1975-Spring 1977, The Franklin Mint serial issued a limited edition set of thirteen solid pewter figurines titled "The Fighting Men of the American Revolution", each figure representing a soldier from one of the 13 original colonies/states. The figures were produced by Imrie-Risley Miniatures for the Mint, each figure carefully researched by William Imrie and exquisitely sculpted by Clyde Risley. An extremely small number of the sets were also hand-painted, this being one of them. Each figure is complete with its original packing box, consisting of labeled, green cardstock slipcover over a 2-piece foam body. Each figure came with a dated and signed certificate of authenticity, along with a descriptive, historical booklet and for each respective soldier, and most of these are still in their respective boxes. All figures stand about 4" in height, with varying base sizes from 2-1/2" - 3-1/2" width and are notable for their fine detailing. The set includes the following figurines: 1) Officer, Dover Light Company of Delaware; 2) Private, First New Jersey Regiment; 3) Militiaman, Minot's Alarm Company of Concord, Massachusetts; 4) Artilleryman, Rhode Island Train of Artillery; 5) Trumpeter, 2nd Connecticut Regiment Continental Dragoons; 6) Private, 2nd South Carolina Regiment; 7) Officer, 3rd New York Regiment; 8) Private, Green Mountain Rangers of New Hampshire; 9) Officer, 3rd Virginia Regiment Continental Dragoons; 10) Drummer, 4th Georgia Regiment; 11) Rifleman, Thompson's Pennsylvania Rifle Battalion; 12) Private, 2nd Maryland Regiment; and 13) Private, 3rd North Carolina Regiment.
