A hat belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte when he ruled the French empire in the 19th Century has been sold for €1.9m ($2.1m; £1.7m) at auction in Paris.
The bicorne black beaver felt hat was valued between €600,000 and €800,000 (£525,850-£701,131).
The person who bought the hat has not made themselves known.
Historians say the hat was part of his brand. Wearing it sideways made him recognisable in battle. He owned about 120 bicorne hats over the years.
