An ornate, gold-encrusted sword that Napoleon used in battle 200 years ago has sold for more than $6.8 million, Parisian auction house Osenat said Sunday.

An anonymous female buyer purchased the sword for her husband, according to auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat, who dubbed it a "very nice Father's Day gift."
