From the BBC: A gold-encrusted sword used by the Emperor Napoleon is to be auctioned in France, more than 200 years after it was used in battle.
The sword, said to be the last of Napoleon's blades still in private hands, has been in the possession of his descendants ever since.
The auctioneers believe the object may fetch millions of dollars. That would be the center of a sword collection ! Here is the whole article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6737909.stmDave
