    Beautiful pieces of kit you've got. Are those boot pullers I see in a couple of those kits?

    Napoleon had a Badger brush with a big fancy sterling silver handle. They say it was made by Plisson but the Plisson part I don't know..

    It is Highly possible since Plisson has been making brushes since 1808 in france and Napoleon was born in 1769 and died in 1821.
