Historical context:
The Belgian army is subdivided into six "army divisions" (the equivalent of infantry divisions in other armies), supplemented by a cavalry division. Each division consisted of three mixed brigades, a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and various transport units.
The nominal strength of a division varied from 25,500 to 32,000 men of all ranks, with a total strength of eighteen infantry battalions, one cavalry regiment, eighteen machine guns, and forty-eight cannons. Two divisions (the 2nd and the 6th) each had an additional artillery detachment, for a total of sixty cannons.
The cavalry division had two brigades of two regiments each, three mounted batteries, a cyclists’ battalion, a company of cyclist pioneers and pontonniers, and support units. Its total strength amounted to 2,500 sabers, 450 cyclists, and twelve cannons.
DIMENSIONS:
Total length: 102.5 cm
Length without the scabbard: 101.5 cm
Blade length: 83.2 cm
Grip length: 19 cm
Blade width: 2.3 cm
