French gladius. Model 1831?

Hi,

I have recently found this gladius-style sword and I’m trying to identify which model it is.

  • Blade length: ~ 47 cm
  • Total length: ~ 60 cm
  • Weight: 560 g
  • No visible markings (likely lost due to corrosion)

From what I understand, it looks like a French 1831 artillery or infantry model, but I know there are also firefighter and National Guard versions.

Which variant do you this it is most likely to be ?

Any insights or comparable examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you !
