Pleeze help with ID...French 1817 Artillerie a Pied?

[celtan]

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

BTW: I also know briskets, half-roasted and with some wine they are simply delicious...
