Ausländische Orden & Ehrenzeichen - Frankreich : Hache d' Honneur, verliehen an den Seemann B.L. Ferrand Silber. Auf der Rückseite vier separat aufgelötete Ösen zur Befestigung der Auszeichnung an der Uniform. Auf der Vorderseite fein ausgeführte Verleihungsgravur: "Le 1er Consul / Au Cer. B. L. Ferrand / Matelot / Pour sa belle conduite / à St. Domingue" Die Armes d'Honneur (Ehrenwaffen) wurden während des Consulats (Alleinherrschaft Napoleons als Erster Konsul) durch Erlaß des 4. Nivôse an VIII (25. Dezember 1799) und vom 21. Thermidor an IX (9. August 1801) eingeführt und waren zur Auszeichnung hervorragender Waffentaten der Soldaten bestimmt. Diese Ehrenwaffen wurden mit dem Namen des Ausgezeichneten versehen und berechtigten zum Bezug eines höheren Soldes. Die Art der Ehrenwaffe wurde durch den Dienstgrad des Beliehenen und die Waffengattung in der er diente bestimmt. Grenadiere und Soldaten erhielten Gewehre (fusils d'honneur), Trommler erhielten Ehren - Trommelstöcke (baguettes d' honneur), berittene Truppen erhielten Musketen oder Karabiner (mousquetons ou carabines d' honneur), Trompeter erhielten Ehren - Trompeten (trompettes d' honneur, Seeleute auf der Uniform zu tragende Ehren - Äxte ( haches d' honneur), Kanoniere erhielten auf der Uniform zu tragende Ehren - Granaten (grenades d'honneur). Für besonders ruhmreiche Waffentaten wurden Ehrensäbel (sabre d' honneur) verbunden mit dem doppelten Sold, verliehen. Insgesamt wurden nur ca. 2000 Ehrenwaffen an alle Waffengattungen verliehen. Diese wurden mit Ausnahme der Ehren - Granaten und Ehren - Äxte von der Manufacture d'Armes in Versailles hergestellt. Die Ehrenwaffen wurden mit einer entsprechenden Verleihungsurkunde die von Bonaparte unterzeichnet wurde, verliehen. Alle Inhaber waren rechtmäßige Ritter der Ehrenlegion und wurden bei der ersten Promotion am 1er Vendémiaire an XII (24. September 1803) in den Orden aufgenommen. Die Hache d'Honneur gehört zu den seltensten dieser Ehrenwaffen. Es sind nur ganz wenige Exemplare bekannt. Sie wurden theoretisch in vergoldeter Ausführung verliehen, die Beschaffenheit und Herstellung der Auszeichnung ist jedoch kaum erforscht. Bei dem hier angebotenen Exemplar in Silberausführung handelt es sich um ein unzweifelhaftes Original von größter Seltenheit. Foreign Orders & Decorations - France : Honorary Axe awarded to seaman B.L. Ferrand. Silver. On the back four separately soldered eyelets for attaching the award to the uniform. On the front finely executed award engraving: "Le 1er Consul / Au Cer.B. L. Ferrand / Matelot / Pour sa belle conduite / à St. Domingue". The Armes d'Honneur (weapons of honor) were introduced during the Consulate (Napoleon's sole rule as First Consul) by decree of the 4th Nivôse to VIII (December 25, 1799) and of the 21st Thermidor to IX (August 9, 1801), and were intended to honor outstanding feats of arms by soldiers. These weapons of honor were marked with the name of the honored person and entitled to higher pay. The type of honorary weapon was determined by the rank of the honoree and the branch of arms in which he served. Grenadiers and soldiers received rifles (fusils d'honneur), drummers received honorary drumsticks (baguettes d' honneur), mounted troops received muskets or carbines (mousquetons ou carabines d' honneur), Trumpeters received honorary trumpets (trompettes d' honneur), sailors received honorary axes (haches d' honneur) to be worn on the uniform, gunners received honorary grenades (grenades d'honneur) to be worn on the uniform. For particularly glorious feats of arms, honorary sabers (sabre d' honneur) were awarded together with double pay. In total, only about 2000 honorary weapons were awarded to all branches of arms. With the exception of the honorary grenades and honorary axes, these were manufactured by the Manufacture d'Armes in Versailles. The honorary arms were awarded with an appropriate award certificate signed by Bonaparte. All holders were legitimate Knights of the Legion of Honor and were admitted to the Order at the first promotion on the 1er Vendémiaire an XII (September 24, 1803). The Hache d'Honneur is among the rarest of these honorary arms. Only very few specimens are known. It was sometimes awarded in gilded version, but the nature and manufacture of the award is very poorly researched. The example offered here is a very fine original piece of the greatest rarity.
