Frankreich Marschallstab des Marschalls François-Achille Bazaine
Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Ausstellungsstück für Museen, um 1900. Sehr feine Arbeit in bester Juweliersqualität. Der insgesamt ca. 49 cm lange Zylinder außen mit blauem Samt verkleidet, darauf in mehren Reihen aufgelegt der französische Hoheitsadler, die Kappen fein ziseliert, die Kappe am Kopfende mit der Inschrift "Terror Belli Decus Pacis" (Schrecken im Krieg, Zierde in Friedenszeiten), am Kopf wiederum der französische Hoheitsadler, die untere Kappe mit dem Namen des Marschalls "Bazaine" sowie dem französischen Wappen am Kopfende. Zustand 2.
In Frankreich erhielten die Marschälle seit dem 18. Jahrhundert den Baton fleurdelisé, der mit blauem Samt überzogen und mit heraldischen Lilien belegt war. Auf den Enden sind auf einer Seite der Name des Inhabers und auf der anderen das Motto "Terror belli decus pacis" angebracht. Die späteren kaiserlichen und republikanischen Marschallstäbe sind statt mit Lilien mit napoleonischen Adlern bzw. Sternen belegt.
Achille Bazaine (1811*) nahm während des Krimkriegs (1853-56) an der Belagerung von Sewastopol teil und war 1859 im Sardinischen Krieg beteiligt. 1863 ging er als Divisionskommandeur nach Mexiko, wo er nach dem Abgang des Marschalls Élie-Frédéric Forey den Oberbefehl über die dort konzentrierte französische Armee übernahm. Nach der Eroberung von Mexiko-Stadt wurde 1864 das Kaiserreich Maximilians I. proklamiert. Am 5. September 1864 wurde Bazaine zum Marschall von Frankreich ernannt und kehrte 1866 aus Mexiko zurück. Während des Deutsch-Französischen Krieges kommandierte er die französische Rheinarmee und musste 27. Oktober 1870 mit ca. 170.000 Mann in der eingeschlossenen Festung Metz, nachdem die Lebensmittelvorräte aufgebraucht waren, kapitulieren.

France Algerian War Uniform Ensemble of a Non-Commissioned Officer of the "Troupes Sahariennes"
The “Saharan Troops” (French: troupes sahariennes) were specialized units of the French Army responsible for control and police duties in the Sahara, primarily in North Africa — from the early 20th century until independence.
Duties and Missions
Surveillance of vast desert territories, control of caravan routes, escort of columns and convoys.
Police and maintenance of order in oases and border regions (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Niger, Mauritania, etc.).
Long-range reconnaissance, diplomatic and military contacts with Tuareg and Arab tribes, as well as punitive expeditions against raids.
Organization and Recruitment
Establishment of the Saharan Companies in the early 20th century (Decree 1902, stable organization from 1905), heirs to the Dromedary Regiment from Napoleon's Egyptian campaign.
French officers and non-commissioned officers led native auxiliary troops and desert soldiers (Chaamba, Tuareg, nomadic tribes), who often had to provide their own mounts and equipment.
Development
Transition from mounted units (dromedaries, horses) to motorized “Saharan motorized” and armored units (e.g., Escadrons sahariens portés in the Foreign Legion in the 1950s–1960s).
Dissolution or transformation after North African independence (especially after 1962 in Algeria), which marked the end of the French Saharan troops.
