Other sources say he did hand over his sword

Saratoga park quarter commemorates Britain’s surrender “He’s surrendering his entire army and he’s surrendering himself as part of his army, so handing over your sidearm or personal sword is very symbolic,” said Joe Craig, a ranger and historian at the Saratoga park.

What Happened to Burgoyne’s Sword? As we know, soon after General Burgoyne tendered his sword to General Gates on the day of the surrender at Saratoga, 17 October 1777, Gates returned the sword to Burgoyne.

Surrender at Saratoga: Burgoyne handed over his sword in the prescribed gesture of surrender; Gates held it briefly, then returned it in recognition of his respect for his opponent. Зенитная Самоходная Установка (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
