Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,249 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 This part was curious: "The hat, which was sold 203 years to the day after the French emperor's defeat at the famous battle, is believed to be one of about 120 two-cornered military dress hats worn by Napoleon. Historians have identified only 19 remaining hats, most of them now in museums. According to the auction house, Napoleon constantly had 12 hats in service, each of which had a three-year life span." Seems like a bit much...more like all of the Jesse James and Buffalo Bill guns that are in never ending supply. But, then he WAS Napoleon, and had a certain standard of dress to uphold.... LL On second thought.....120 hats sounds like some cowboys I know...... LL Link to post Share on other sites
