Parseval was the inventor of the Austrian sausage airship (called the Parseval balloon in honour of its inventor), a rival to the German Zeppelin, though not with the same range of action.

In excellent condition for age, with nice dark brown patina.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
