Napoleon's sword
 
Here it is: not strictly ethnographic for our French colleagues, but very exotic for us, Michiganders :D

Its a shame that such a national treasure is going private :mad:

According to the news it was sold by a few members from the Napoleon familiy. But it has been bought also by a member of the family :confused: :confused: :confused:

Funny, the sword remains in the family, the money remains in the family.
And auctionhouse Osenat gets about 25% OVER 6.4 Million USD :eek:

By the way, If I had that kind of cash, I would probably collect Napoleontic swords too ;)

I suppose they could not agree for the price so they gave it to auction.

Collect shopping centers for that kind of money. Then collect swords with the cash flow. :)

Wait a minute. That is a good idea!

Anyone make me a loan? :shrug:
