  This sword is based upon the French M1831 Foot Artillery Sword which, in turn, was based upon the very early Roman gladius. These were carried by North and South during the Civil War. While the design was impractical for actual combat, it is believed that artillerymen put this weapon to other uses, such as clearing brush or cutting traces. It was an effective tool for cutting paths through the Florida swamps during the Second Seminole War which occurred during the time it was issued to infantry sergeants, drummers and fifers. This is somewhat corroborated by the French nickname for their version of this the sword, coupe choux (cabbage cutter).
