ALFRED F. HOPKINS (See Vol. II, No. 2) has assembled several important groups of foreign and American swords. Referring to one of them, Theodore T. Belote, Curator of History, United States National Museum, wrote (American and European Swords in the Historical Collections of the National Museum, Bulletin 163, 1932): "It constituted en exceptionally valuable acquisition to the historical collections of the National Museum, because prior to its receipt they included only very few American swords of the type manufactured prior to 1840. The acquisition of the Hopkins collection thus filled an important gap in the Museum series. . ."
