"A Regimentally-Marked, Mid 18th Century British Infantry Sword In The Concord Antiquarian Museum".
(The article was in Vol. 24, No. 2, of the Canadian Arms Collecting series, May 1986.)
Being that the Concord Museum is located only a town away from where I live, and the fact that I'd never actually been there that I can recall, I figured 'ol Mac should go check it out for himself !
(Besides, August 16th was free admission day :-)
The Museum, although limited in the A&A department, turned out to be quite interesting, and the few pieces they did have were very cool and certainly in keeping with the events of the Revolutionary history the town is famous for!
I've assembled an album with the photos I took that day, and included the article by Mr. Darling that spurred on my visit to see this special little sword ..... It's a great read, so do check it out, savvy ;-)
British Infantry Sword in the Concord Museum, MA.
Cheers, Mac
