Sword gifted by Napoleon Bonaparte heads to auction

A 31-inch curved steel-bladed sword given to Royal Navy Captain James Kearney White (1782-1828) by Napoleon Bonaparte will go on sale at auction with an estimated value between 30,000 to 50,000 pounds. Charles Miller, head of Charles Miller auction house, says that despite the sword being an average standard piece, its link to the former French emperor makes it unique because "you don't get many swords associated so directly with Napoleon." The auction sale will take place in London on November 12.
