Full Description:
This sword is a handsome reproduction of the French Model 1831 Artillery Sword, which was used throughout the 19th century.  The Neo-classical design of this sword is based on the Roman Gladius sword and was nicknamed the "cabbage-cutter," as it was found to be a very useful tool in addition to its role as a weapon.  The French Artillery Sword features a polished solid brass grip and a high carbon steel blade.  The highly polished blade is 18 inches (45.7 cm) long and 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) wide at the hilt (where the blade and grip meet).  The sword is 25 inches (63.5 cm) long overall, and weighs 2 pounds 2 ounces (0.99 kg).  We offer custom engraving on the blade of the sword.  The sword cannot be shipped with a sharpened blade, although you can easily sharpen the blade yourself.  Accompanying the sword is a 100 percent genuine leather scabbard complete with brass accents.  The scabbard weighs an additional 8 ounces (227 grams)
