French Model 1831 Foot Artillery Short Sword (Manufacture De Chatellerault)

French Model 1831 Foot Artillery short sword with straight leaf-shaped blade, solid brass hilt with fish-scale grip, and inspection marks near the ricasso, accompanied by a period-correct brown leather frog. The blade shows patina and oxidation from handling, the hilt displays softened detail from use, and the frog retains intact stitching with service wear at pressure points. No postwar modifications are present.
