It was produced by The Franklin Mint in 1988 and rests on an oval, cherry wood base. Brass engraved plaque on base. Weighs 4lbs.
It portrays the major ethnic groups that were represented in the ranks of US combat personnel that served in Vietnam. The three meant are purposely identifiable as Latino American, European American and African American. The original is located in the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and stands 8 feet tall.
Although the guns have some damage we know these are very rare, hard to find sculptures in any condition.
It is in excellent condition with period wear and patina consistent with age and use. The gun that the soldier has on his shoulder has a bend in it and the gun that the soldier is holding in his hand has a bent tip which looks like it was glued back on. No other damage that we could find. The wood base has some use wear but no serious damage.
