hi, only the first battalion had the Eagle. All other battalions of the same regiment just had the pennant. There could be up to 3 or 4 battalions to the regiment.michael

Hi Dirk, Looks like a great find. Interesting that without the spearpoint the form is similiar to boarding axes of the same period. CC

Hi,
i hope this is a good find, never seen one before in any museum in germany. Maybe there are more in France. @CC Yes the axe part is nearly the same like the boarding axe shown in Müler/Kölling Hiebwaffen and the lance points were used in the same form in later m64 french cavalary lances. But I still dont know how many regiments there were in the napoleon army all the best Dirk |
