“Spake, in the pride of his heart, Myles Standish, the Captain of
Plymouth,—
‘This is the sword of Damascus I fought with in Flanders.’”
—Longfellow.
[Illustration: Replica of Sword]
The famous Damascus blade of the redoubtable Pilgrim Captain is one of
the most valuable relics to be seen in Pilgrim Hall. It was handed
down to Myles Standish from the Crusaders, and possessed an
interesting history even in his day. Our swords are perfectly copied
from the original, even in the engraving of the curious Arabic
inscription on the blade. Prices by mail, tax included.

Pilgrim history. The reverse side bears the title and a quotation
encircled by a wreath of Mayflowers.

indelible.

of the Pilgrims; Priscilla and John Alden; Pilgrim Monument; Myles
Standish House, 1666; John Alden House; Pilgrim Hall; “Why don’t you
speak for yourself, John?”
