VERY cool stuff, bud. Thanks very much.



Something's wonky about that MP40. Has it been converted to STEN mags?

Have a look there....

They have some better pics.

That museum also houses Napoleon's body.

As far as I remember those are different museums.

IIRC the Napoleon museum is in the same compound but a different building. You have to leave the museum and walk about 5 minutes.

Actually it is in the "Dôme des Invalides", which is in the "Hôtel des Invalides" which also houses "le musée de l'armée".

BTW Napoleons tomb contains only ashes, his body was burned, the brown chunk of marble is basically a giant urn.

I took tons of pictures of this place, each I time I went.

Napoleon's body was exhumed at St Helena and was found to be perfectly preserved. This gives some creedence to the wide spread belief Napoleon was poisoned and didn't die of stomach cancer. His body was not buried in Paris immediately upon arrival as the stone casket was not completed in time.
I have never read anything any where saying Napoleon was cremated or ended up as ashes.

You are right, my mistake.
