"Napoleon's Love Story" - the story of
Napoleon and Madame Walewska, his Polish mistress, by whom he
had a son proving that it was possible. This led to Napoleon
marrying Marie-Louise who gave birth to Napoleon II shortly
thereafter. This is the foremost book on the subject and has
been out-of-print since 1973! This story was presented at the
Annual Conference in Chicago last year.
$25 including shipping in the US.

Unusual and no longer
available set of five enamel lapel pins. Much sharper than in the scan and
in a plastic display case, I believe these are from the bicentennial of
Napoleon’s birth (but I’m not sure). I bought them around 1990 and am
asking only what I paid for them then. They include Napoleon crossing the
Alps, the Chasseurs à Cheval Austerlitz 1805, Polish Lancer, Scots Greys
Waterloo 1815 and (gasp!) the Duke of Wellington. Mint

The obverse shows Napoleon facing left. The reverse has the
caption "La Fortune conservatrice" with Fortune

(the 4th year of Bonaparte). This medallion was issued in 1803
to celebrate Napoleon’s success. Designed by Brenet, it is

is an original issue from 1803, and a rare example.

Bronze medallion commemorating the attempt on Napoleon's life in
1800.
This medallion commemorates the attempt on Napoleon’s life by the so-called “infernal machine”
as he was headed to the opera. The obverse has a stunning bust of Napoleon as First Consul.
The reverse has a commemorative inscription. I’d put this medallion as “about uncirculated (AU).”
