Model 1832 Foot Artillery Sword, is a short sword designed after the Roman gladius with a blade length around 64 cm (25 in) in length. It was also known as a coupe-chou (literally "cabbage cutter") in France. Oversized two-handers used as parade swords or ceremonial weapons often exceeded the length and weight of practical weapons of war.
The model was reissued in 1831 with minor changes. Most visibly, the newer model had a ringed grip rather than the fishscale pattern seen in the earlier model. [2] It also provided the inspiration for the American Model 1832 Foot Artillery Sword, though the American model retained the fishscale grip of the 1816 model.
