Napoleonic short sword Glaive 501864

Inspired by the legendary Gladius sword used by legionaries of the Roman Army, the Napoleonic Short Glaive Sword became a key element of the French Army's arsenal beginning in 1816. Originally designed as a versatile tool for the battlefield, this short sword was also used as an effective weapon in combat situations. Over the years, the design evolved, but its functionality and sturdiness allowed it to remain in service for several decades.

Features and design:

  • Roman Gladius Inspired Blade: The blade of this sword follows the tradition of the Roman Gladius, measuring 49 cm in length, making it ideal for close combat. Forged from 1075 carbon steel, the blade offers great durability and strength, making it a reliable tool for both cutting and more practical work on the battlefield.
  • Versatile Sword: Although this short sword was primarily designed as a weapon, it was also used as a machete to clear debris on battlefields, earning it the nickname "coupe-chou" (translated as "cabbage cutter") for its effectiveness as a multi-purpose tool. This model was so versatile that it was even inspired in the United States to adapt its design into the Model 1832 Foot Artillery Sword .
  • Model 1831 Update: This replica represents the design of the Model 1831, which introduced a redesigned hilt with a ringed pattern, improving grip and control when handling the sword.

Grip and Scabbard:

  • Solid Brass Hilt: The sword's hilt is made of solid brass, faithfully replicating the historical details of the original swords. The ringed design ensures a firm and comfortable grip, making it easy to use both in combat and for manual tasks.
  • Scabbard with Brass Fittings: The sword comes with a high-quality scabbard with a brass tip and throat, which not only protects the blade but also adds an aesthetic and classic touch. In addition, the scabbard comes equipped with a belt hook, making it easy to carry and always within reach of the wearer.
