Napoleon’s Sword Auctioned for $6.4 Million
June 12, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Luxury Gifts at 12:00 pm |
A sword that was given as a wedding gift to his brother by Napoleon in 1805 has been auctioned off for $6.4 million. The auction took place in Paris & the buyer has of yet remained unidentified.
The sword was actually carried by Napoleon before he was emperor into the Battle of Marengo back in June of 1800. The weapon was declared a national treasure by France in 1978 which means that if it was ever sold to a foreign buyer, they have to remain in France for five months out of the year. Not too bad a deal, eh?
