Being the last privately owned sword from Napoleon Bonaparte's personal collection gave this saber high expected auction value, said the auctioneers at the Osenat auction.
They Expected between $1.2 and $1.6 million but admit to being overwhelmed by the swords popularity but attribute it to the blade being the last in its collection.
$7.6 million, €4.8 million was the winning bid.
A very wealthy business woman, who preferred to stay anonymous, said It was a present for her husband, the man who has everything.
