JEANNE D'ARc's OLD SWORD

Blade Given to Mxid Of Orleans
by King Charles VII.

Paris. - Biographers OF Jeanne
dare, including Ana.ole France and
Andrew Lang. have never been able
TO discover any authentic relics OF the
Maid Of Orleans. The executioner
threw her ashes into the Seine. and
the cottage at Domremy has not SO
much as a wooden shoe which can be
proved to have belonged to the Lib.
orator OF France. There is. however.
in the museum at Dijon a sword kept
in the hall with the tombs Of Philip
the Bold and Jean-sans-Peur, for which
the custodian, M. E. Metman. has doc
uments proving that it once belonged
to Jeanne dare.
On one face of the hilt is engraved
a figure of the Maid in peasant cos.
tune kneeling before cross. with the
name Charles VII. On the other Is the
word "Vaucouleurs." On both the
arms of France and those Of the City
OF Orleans The date, 1919. Is found
in five places on hilt and blade. This
date may indicate when the sword
was made, or 1t may be in commem.
Grafton OF the assassination Of the Due
de Bourgogne in the presence OF the
Dauphin, the future Charles VII. on
the bridge of Montereau.
M. Metman's manuscripts show that
the sword was manufactured at To.
ledo and was autographed BY the
sword-maker. Lupus Aguado. and that
it was specially made as a present to
the Maid from the king of France.
