Some confusion here, Manolo
 .It was you who said briquet in the first place. I said glaive, and here the picture of a 1816 artillery one, which you can find here: http://www.lehussard.fr/frameGeneral...Cat=SYS_ANCIEN Fernando. PS I know briquets ... i have just sold one  .. |

I guess so.
I was talking about the M1816 Briquet coexisting with my 1817 epee. Did the gladius and the briquet coexist in 1817's France? Were they issued to different military units? Why is my gladius hilt so different than the regular M1816? Best M BTW: I also know briskets, half-roasted and with some wine they are simply delicious...    Quote:

Got some extra info. The M1816 Briquet coexisted with the M1816 Glaive. The French M1816 glaive is the inspiration for the American M1832, not the french M1831, whose blade and hilt are slightly different.
Not only that, but the 2/1 fullered glaive's blade may even be an older design, perhaps dating from the last quarter of the 18th C. Any extra info is welcomed! Best M Last edited by celtan; 14th May 2009 at 04:09 AM. |
