Subsequently, in 1811, Veri presented a strand to Michalon, a wig master.
The authenticity of the object is confirmed by a note written by the hand of the valet: “Here you will find, my dear friend, a strand of the emperor's hair, as I promised you,” the text says.
Earlier it was reported that during excavations at the Royal Bastion in Lopatinsky Garden of Smolensk, archaeologists discovered remains that may belong to one of Napoleon’s closest associates, General Gudin.
