    Napoleon Bonapartes pistols auctioned for 1.69 million euros

    The guns, adorned with gold and silver inlays, feature a carved image of Napoleon in full imperial pomp. According to auction house expert Jean-Pierre Osenat, these weapons were nearly used by Napoleon to end his life in 1814 after his armys defeat and the occupation of Paris by foreign forces. ​​​​The French government has classified them as national treasures, placing a ban on their export. The buyers identity remains undisclosed.
