I'm not so sure about that, Miller. The reference to his dress sword that he carried to the surrender specifically states that Grant did not ask for it, and Lee did not surrender it.

I wonder what became of it.

Stan,
RE Lee's dress sword is in the American Civil War museum at the Appomattox CH Military Park.
Correction - it was there three years ago, when I last visited.
