Description

Seeking enough weapons to equip an army

LS in French, signed “Np.,” one page, 7.25 x 8.75, June 6, 1812. Napoleon writes from Königsberg to the Duc de Feltre, his Minister of War, expressing the need for 300,000 arms for the insurrection, 20,000 cavalry sabers, 20,000 pistols, and 20,000 carabines to be used at Magdeburg. Marginal pinholes and a touch of subtle handling wear, otherwise very fine, bright condition. A particularly fresh, handsome example for display! JSA/John Reznikoff Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
