AuvergneWargamer: Whilst rummaging around my files looking for info on a related topic, I came across this article. It contains a photo of a rather lapidated eagle and some illustrations. If you can read French, then you will be able to read the contents. It is from No.78-79 of the French Tradition magazine. I have posted the info on another site, so here is a link to the site thread post. link PS. I started this (Mk.2) thread as the original thread is not displaying new posts. Paul :) |

Oddly the magazine says the eagle itself is Second Empire…. Certainly many were "captured" in mass surrenders by Napoleon III's armies, but I would be hard put to tell from this picture. It is looking to its left and is not crowned…..which would do for Boney I. |
