Cavalry Officer

Big Jim Cavalry Officer, Mattel reference 9414, was released in Europe in 1976 and remained available into 1977, notably within the Karl May and Old West ranges. This vintage Big Jim outfit represents a 19th-century U.S. cavalry officer, expanding the Western universe alongside cowboys and Native American characters. The documented costume features a blue cavalry uniform with trousers, a yellow neckerchief, white gloves, a belt with holster and revolver, a Stetson-style cavalry hat and a rifle. Packaging and naming varied between European markets, with the outfit appearing as “Ufficiale di Cavalleria” in Italy and “Cavalry Officer” elsewhere. Mattel reference 9414 is distinguished by its detailed military-inspired clothing and accessories, closely associated with the Karl May collection.
