    He is beautiful, and my grandmother would have loved this one. She had Napoleon statuettes, busts, plaques all over the place as an expression of pride in her French origin.:playful:

    Ben Weider was known as an advocate of the theory that Napoleon was assassinated with arsenic poisoning by a member of his entourage during his exile in Saint Helena. Weider had even obtained authenticated Napoleon hair samples and arranged for forensic tests that showed that Napoleon had been poisoned with arsenic.[8] He co-authored several Napoleonic history books including, Assassination at St. Helena, Assassination at St. Helena Revisited and The Murder of Napoleon. The Murder of Napoleon became one of the best-selling history books of all time, now with editions in 45 languages.[8]

    Weider also founded the International Napoleonic Society, of which he was the president, and wrote numerous articles for this organization.[9]

    Weider owned an extensive collection of Napoleon memorabilia. He donated this collection to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, making it one of the largest collections of its kind in the world.[10][11]

    I met him at a London hotel.
    Dad introduced me.....

    I wonder what the price of such a statuette might be if it were sold?
