Hello Jeffery,
Thank you for the information about the "code duello".
IIRC on the show Mystery at the Museum there was a bit about the longest duel that spanned several years between a French Infantry Officer who did not let a French Calvary Officer who did not have an invitation into a ball. Most of the duels were fought with swords. The final duel used pistols that occurred in a wooded area and the Infantry officer won by hanging his jacket from a tree. The cavalry officer fired at the jacket and then was confronted by the infantry officer who had the other officer sign an agreement that the duel was finally done.
