french napoleonic infantry sword Viking broche Similar sword models were employedThe French military based this sword on the famous and effective Roman Gladius. Originally issued in 1816, the solid bronze grip had a pattern that resembled fish scales. When updated and reissued as the Model 1831, the grip was redesigned with a ribbed pattern. Although it could be used as a combat weapon in an emergency, it was mainly used as a machete to clear fields for guns. Due to its usefulness as a versatile tool, it was nicknamed "coupe chou"
