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
