| Palais de Monaco Berthold Werner |
Napoleon's silk stockings ~ you know you've always coveted them. How about his diamond-studded sword? Or his famous black bicorne hat? (Of course, he had a lot of those, but this particular one was worn at the Battle of Marengo in Italy in 1800, or so they say.) Well, hop to it, because you may never get this chance again. Monaco's Prince Albert and, presumably, his family have decided to auction off a few (read: 1,000) articles to pay for needed renovations to their palace. How 'bout strands of his hair or the knife with which a German student planned to assassinate him?:
