Militaria Ausland - Frankreich : Schwert zur kleinen Uniform (Glaive de Petit Apparat), für einem Mitglied des Direktoriums, Exemplar aus dem Besitz Paul Barras (ex Collection Bernhard Franck). Griff aus ziselierter, vergoldeter Bronze. Klinge mit der Inschrift: "Pour la Nation - Vaincre ou Mourir" (Für die Nation - Sieg oder Tod). Scheide aus vergoldeter Bronze mit granatrotem Samtboden. Dieses Schwert stammt aus dem Nachlass von Grand de Deydem, dessen Vorfahre der Adjutant von Paul Barras war (Verkauf nach dessen Tod, 28. Mai 1921, Hôtel Drouot, Nr. 103 des Katalogs). Paul-François-Jean-Nicolas, Vicomte de Barras (* 30. Juni 1755 in Fox-Amphoux; ? 29. Januar 1829 in Chaillot) war ein französischer Politiker und Mitglied des Direktoriums, in dem er als einziger von 1795 bis zu seiner Auflösung 1799 durchgehend Mitglied war. Es war Zufall, dass er am 14. Juli 1789 Zeuge des Sturms auf die Bastille wurde. Bis dahin hatte der Vizegraf de Barras keine festen politischen Ideen. Er traf Mirabeau bei Sophie Arnould. Vielleicht war es dieses Treffen, das ihn dazu veranlasste, sich der Freimaurerei und dann dem Jakobinerklub anzuschließen und als Republikaner in die Politik einzusteigen. Als Kandidat für die Legislative für das Département Var scheiterte er. Er wurde danach jedoch Mitglied des Nationalen Hochgerichtes in Orléans. Nachdem dieses aufgelöst war, kehrte er nach Paris zurück und wurde zum Kommissar der italienischen Armee ernannt. Die Wahl zum Nationalkonvent von 1792 glückte dann und er stimmte für die Hinrichtung Ludwigs XVI. Er beteiligte sich 1794 maßgeblich am Sturz Robespierres vom 9. Thermidor. Er wurde später Präsident des Nationalkonvents. 1795 stand Barras als einer der ersten fünf Direktoren an der Spitze des Staates. Nach dem Staatsstreich des 18. Fructidor V (4. September 1797) übernahm das Triumvirat aus Barras, Louis-Marie de La Révellière-Lépeaux und Jean François Reubell die Macht im Direktorium. Joséphine de Beauharnais, die spätere Frau von Napoleon Bonaparte, war seine Geliebte. Barras förderte den jungen General, der für ihn in Paris einen royalistischen Aufstand gegen das Direktorium niedergeschlagen hatte, indem er ihn mit der Führung der Italienarmee beauftragte und später die Ägyptische Expedition unterstützte. Napoleons Staatsstreich des 18. Brumaire VIII (1799) zwang Barras jedoch zum Rücktritt. Barras hatte sowohl Napoleons als auch Joseph Fouchés Aufstieg begünstigt, was die beiden nicht daran hinderte, ihn abzusetzen und in die Verbannung zu schicken. Erst nach Napoléons Abdankung kehrte Barras wieder zurück, obwohl er auch als Königsmörder (Régicide) stigmatisiert war. Provenienz: Nachlaß Grand de Deydem Auktion 28.

Handle of chiselled, gilt bronze. Blade with the inscription: "Pour la Nation - Vaincre ou Mourir" (For the Nation - Victory or Death). Scabbard of gilt bronze with a garnet red velvet base. This sword comes from the estate of Grand de Deydem, whose ancestor was the aide-de-camp of Paul Barras (sold after his death, 28 May 1921, Hôtel Drouot, no. 103 of the catalogue). Paul-François-Jean-Nicolas, Vicomte de Barras (* 30 June 1755 in Fox-Amphoux; ? 29 January 1829 in Chaillot) was a French politician and a member of the Directory, of which he was the only member continuously from 1795 until its dissolution in 1799. It was by chance that he witnessed the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. Until then, the Vice-Count de Barras had no firm political ideas. He met Mirabeau at Sophie Arnould's house. Perhaps it was this meeting that led him to join Freemasonry and then the Jacobin Club and to enter politics as a republican. He failed as a candidate for the legislature for the Var department. However, he subsequently became a member of the National High Court in Orléans. After this was dissolved, he returned to Paris and was appointed commissioner of the Italian army. He then succeeded in being elected to the National Convention of 1792 and voted for the execution of Louis XVI. He took a leading part in the overthrow of Robespierre from the 9th Thermidor in 1794. He later became president of the National Convention. In 1795, Barras was one of the first five directors of state. After the coup d'état of 18 Fructidor V (4 September 1797), the triumvirate of Barras, Louis-Marie de La Révellière-Lépeaux and Jean François Reubell took power in the Directory. Joséphine de Beauharnais, later Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, was his mistress. Barras promoted the young general who had put down a royalist uprising against the Directory for him in Paris, putting him in charge of the Italian army and later supporting the Egyptian Expedition. Napoleon's coup d'état of 18 Brumaire VIII (1799), however, forced Barras to resign. Barras had favoured both Napoleon's and Joseph Fouché's rise, which did not prevent the two from deposing him and sending him into exile. Barras only returned after Napoléon's abdication, although he was also stigmatised as a regicide (Régicide).

Nachdem sein Vater zu seinen Gunsten abgedankt hatte, kehrte er im August 1849 unter dem Schutz österreichischer Truppen aus London nach Parma zurück und errichtete ein reaktionäres Willkürregime, das ihn derart verhasst machte, dass er im März 1854 in Parma auf offener Straße von einem Unbekannten erdolcht wurde.

The heir to the throne, Duke Robert (1854-1859/60), who was still underage, was succeeded by his mother, the French-born Bourbon princess Louise Marie of Bourbon.

Der Griff Leichtmetall mit Einlagen und aufgelegtem vergoldeten Liktorenbündel. Blanke Rückenklinge. Schwarz lachierte Eisenscheide mit vergoldeten Beschlägen. Gehänge mit vergoldetem Chevron und schwarzem Lederband, an der Spitze das "M" (Mussolini) auf weißer Lederunterlage und der albanische Doppeladler. Dieser Dolch stammt aus dem Besitz des Sekretärs der Nationalen Faschistischen Partei Albaniens, Tefik Mborja. Pugnale per ufficiali della MVSN mod. 37. Catenella di sospensione del pugnale con la M e un aquila ad ali spiegate poggiante su di un fascio. Catenella con gallone dorato e striscia di pelle nera, in alto la M e l'aquila bicipite albanese. Pugnale appartenuto a Tefik Mborja Segretario del Partito Nazionale Fascista d'Albania. Tefik Mborja wurde 1888 in Mborje, Vilayet von Monastir, Osmanisches Reich (heute Albanien), geboren. Mborja war in den Jahren zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen Parlamentsabgeordneter. Er war ein entschiedener Gegner von Ahmet Zogu und unterstützte Fan Noli. Mborja diente ab 1924 als Nolis Vertreter in Rom. Er wurde beauftragt, die diplomatischen Beziehungen mit der Sowjetunion aufzubauen und stand deshalb in Kontakt mit dem sowjetischen Vertreter in Rom, Konstantin Juranew. In Italien freundete er sich mit der Familie des Grafen Galeazzo Ciano an. Er studierte Rechtswissenschaften in Rom. Nach dem Einmarsch der italienischen Truppen in Albanien im Jahr 1939 wurde Mborja vom albanischen Provisorischen Komitee zum neuen Präfekten der Provinz Korçë ernannt. Als einen Monat nach der Invasion die Albanische Faschistische Partei gegründet wurde, wurde Mborja von Viktor Emanuel III. zum Generalsekretär der Partei ernannt. Das Hauptkriterium für seine Ernennung waren die Beziehungen zur Familie Ciano, die er in den 1920er Jahren gepflegt hatte. Als Generalsekretär der Albanischen Faschistischen Partei wurde Mborja als Minister von Amts wegen in die albanische Regierung aufgenommen. Durch seine Position in der Regierung konnte Mborja einen gewissen politischen Einfluss auf die Regierungspolitik ausüben. Die italienischen Faschisten behielten jedoch ein Vetorecht über die Aktionen der albanischen Partei, und Mborjas Arbeit wurde von Giovanni Giro (Generalinspekteur der Partei und enger Mitarbeiter von Benito Mussolini) überwacht. Theoretisch sollte Mborja laut seiner offiziellen Biografie in die Führung der Faschistischen Partei Italiens eingebunden werden, wobei unklar war, in welcher Funktion. Am 29. Mai 1939 wurde er zum Mitglied der Italienischen Kammer der Faszien und Unternehmen sowie des Zentralrats der korporativen Wirtschaft ernannt. Im Dezember 1944 wurde er von albanischen Kommunisten verhaftet und im Frühjahr 1945 von einem Sondergericht zu 20 Jahren Haft verurteilt. Er wurde in der Haft vergiftet und starb 1954. Einmaliger und historisch hochinteressanter Dolch von größter Seltenheit.Foreign Militaria - Italy : Dagger of Tefik Mborja Secretary of the National Fascist Party of Albania.MVSN Mod. 37 Officer's dagger. The grip light metal with inlays and applied gilt lictor bundle. Blank single-edged blade. Black lacquered iron scabbard with gilt fittings. Hilt with gilt chevron and black leather strap, the "M" (Mussolini) on white leather backing and the Albanian double-headed eagle at the tip. This dagger belonged to the secretary of the National Fascist Party of Albania, Tefik Mborja. Tefik Mborja was born in 1888, in Mborje, Vilayet of Monastir, Ottoman Empire (today Albania). Mborja was a member of parliament during the interbellum years. A staunch opponent of Ahmet Zogu, he supported Fan Noli. Mborja was served as Noli's representative in Rome from 1924. He was assigned to establish the diplomatic relations with Soviet Union, and for this reason he communicate with Soviet representative in Rome Konstantin Juranev. In Italy, he befriended the family of Count Galeazzo Ciano. He studied jurisprudence in Rome. With the invasion of Albania by Italian forces in 1939, Mborja was appointed new Prefect of the province of Korçë by the Albanian Provisional Committee. When the Albanian Fascist Party was founded within a month of the invasion, Mborja was appointed general secretary of the party by Victor Emmanuel III. The main criteria behind his nomination were the links with the Ciano family that he had cultivated in the 1920s. As the general secretary of the Albanian Fascist Party Mborja was included in the Albanian government as an ex-officio minister. Mborja was able to exercise a certain degree over political influence over government policies through his position in the government. However the Italian fascists retained veto rights over the actions of the Albanian party, and Mborja's work was supervised by Giovanni Giro (inspector-general of the party and a close associate of Benito Mussolini). In theory, according to his official biography, Mborja was supposed to be included in the leadership of the Italian Fascist Party, although was unclear in what function. On May 29, 1939 he was appointed as member of the Italian Chamber of Fasces and Corporations as well as the Central Council of Corporative Economy. He was arrested in December 1944 by Albanian Communists and sentenced with 20 years by the Special Court of Spring 1945. He was poisoned while in prison and died in 1954. Important and historically highly interesting dagger of the greatest rarity.
