Sculpture French Musketeer.

19 inch tall

Original bronze patina

Sculpture Ferdinand De Luca

 

above info was off another er who knows about these things AND THEY HAVE A REALLY HIGH PRICE , THIS ONE NOT SO MUCH SO READ ALL SO YOU KNOW ALL

 

but please keep in mind the exact same one [with the org arm] sells for between $750 - $1200 google Ferdinand De Luca French Musketeer.

 

NOW WHAT I KNOW WAS I GOT THIS OUT OF A ESTATE SALE DAMAGED IT HAD ONLY ONE ARM

 

my guess bronze finish over base metal may have had gold tones at one time

 

SO WHILE I LIKED I I DID DECIDE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO FIND A SUITABLE ARM , SO I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONE IT WAS OFF A PLASTIC TOY AND WITH SOME CREATIVITY I WAS ABLE TO PAINT AND MATCH THE PATINE ALMOST EXACTLY, AS FAR AS THE SWORD IT IS MY LETTER OPENER THAT DOES SIT IN THE HAND CORRECTLY BUT I HAVE SEEN SOME BETTER MINI SWORDS HERE but i will include it

 

NOW IN CASE YOU CAN NOT TELL WHICH ARE IS THE METAL ORIGINAL AND THE PLASTIC REPLACEMENT THE RIGHT ARM IS THE REPLACEMENT

 

now this is sold as is only please note i will do my best to protect the right arm but in the event it comes loose it is only glued on and if you look closely at the picture the new arm starts above the elbow
