If anybody is confused about the english plaque and general choice of display:
This was apparently on display at Madam Tussauds, the wax-people lady. Her son allegedly bought it from the executioners family.

Oh, I saw this earlier this month at the V&A (on loan for the Marie Antoinette Style exhibition) – it can’t be absolutely confirmed to be the one that killed her (since that’s basically impossible to trace) but it’s the claim. They also had her final letter displayed with it.
I overheard someone say “wait, so they actually, like, killed her?”

The title “The guillotine blade that killed Marie Antoinette on October 16, 1793” seems to imply that there was also at least one other guillotine blade that killed her, on some other date
