On the dealer's table lies a neatly folded letter of pardon. For decades, it lay neglected and well stowed away in a drawer. Only through Bianca's expertise is it revealed that the pardon is a genuine signature of Napoleon Bonaparte. The emperor himself signed this document in 1810, after which the prisoner was allowed to choose between a prison sentence or military service. Bonaparte expected military advantages by issuing pardons. Since it was a widely used procedure, most passages of the letter are already pre-printed. The accuracy of the warlord's signature alone makes the letter a top seller. How high will the princely sum ultimately be?
