Robe sword and scabbard 1802-03
In 1799 a new system of government, led by three Consuls, was introduced in France. Napoleon was elected First Consul. A sword of this pattern was provided to each of them, although this one is of a later date and must have been a replacement for the original. It was acquired by George IV with a certificate swearing that it had belonged to Napoleon himself.

A Game of Thrones, Jon III
Inside, Jon hung sword and scabbard from a hook in the stone wall, ignoring the others around him.
Methodically, he began to strip off his mail, leather, and sweat-soaked woolens.
Chunks of coal burned in iron braziers at either end of the long room, but Jon found himself shivering.
The chill was always with him here. In a few years he would forget what it felt like to be warm.
The weariness came on him suddenly, as he donned the roughspun blacks that were their everyday wear.
He sat on a bench, his fingers fumbling with the fastenings on his cloak.
So cold, he thought, remembering the warm halls of Winterfell, where the hot waters ran through the walls like blood through a man’s body.
There was scant warmth to be found in Castle Black; the walls were cold here, and the people colder.
No one had told him the Night’s Watch would be like this; no one except Tyrion Lannister. The dwarf had given him the truth on the road north, but by then it had been too late.

nedpan vibes in 1600: battered but ambitious castaway meets shogun, aka "behave yourself or get beheaded weird foreigner, i don't trust you but i trust portugal and spain even less and if you're at war with them hmmm...enemy of my frenemy potential there. tell me about foreign affairs will you so i can cross-check portugal’s claims, oh and draw me some maps too… hmmm you know we should have tea in my quarters where you can talk more foreign affairs and we can play shogi just for me to, y'know, pick apart how you think..." (sidenote: i love associating kiku with japanese black pine trees, especially since you see them painted all over the gold-foil screen doors in the shogun's castle/palaces.)
