In 1902 account of his life it is alleged that in 1884 a ex Union soldier had a alleged Earl Van Dorn Sword and would part with it for $225.00-the sale did not go through https://archive.org/details/soldiershonorwit00milliala/page/329/mode/1up p.330

A search in 2011 by a journalist for items belonging to Van Dorn showed that many of his possessions, including his sword and other items, were available for purchase through a private auction. A specific result regarding its current status as lost or found is not recorded.
