"Napoleon's Iconic Bicorne Hat Expected to Fetch Over €600,000 at Paris Auction"

A signature bicorne hat worn by Napoleon Bonaparte is expected to fetch over €600,000 at an auction in Fontainebleau, France. The hat, one of only a few authentic ones remaining, was worn by Napoleon with the ends pointing towards his shoulders, making it easier for his troops to spot him in battle. Other items in the auction include a silver plate looted from Napoleon's carriage after the Battle of Waterloo and a wooden vanity case containing personal belongings. The collection is part of industrialist Jean-Louis Noisiez's collection of Napoleonic memorabilia.
