Correction to sword list
Rob, I removed the listing of a "Model 1821 Artillery Officers' Sword" because there was no such official designation. The only changes to U.S. swords in 1821 was the adoption of the straight blade. Othewise, American artillery and other officers were free to wear any sword or sword hilt they pleased, conforming to the regulation metal color, of course. So, there is no supporting documentation to justify the addition of a "Model 1821" anything in U.S. swords. Best regards, Jack Bethune 14:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Jack, You are correct. The 1821 was a British model. Rmallott 20:42, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
