What is in St. Joan of Arc's Reliquary?

According to the site below there is no reliquary box.

All of St. Joan's first class relics are now destroyed or lost forever. Joan's ashes were gathered together and burned a second time and the remaining dust was tossed into a river to prevent the gathering of relics.

All of St. Joan's reliable second class relics have been destroyed, such as the clothing and armor she wore. What remains is disputed and remains in the hands of junk dealers passing themselves off as dealers in antiquities.

Three of St. Joan's letters remain at the locations to which they were addressed. Also, a few statues and crucifices before which she prayed still exist in the churches and chapels where they were displayed. These are the only reliable third class relics of St. Joan of Arc that exist, and even then, due to restoration efforts, their authenticity may have degraded somewhat. For example, art restorers would have been hired to create really good fakes of these works so the originals could be transported elsewhere.

Thus, St. Joan of Arc has neither a reliquary nor anything to place in it. What she had was either destroyed when she was killed, or destroyed during wars and revolutions, or had been repaired or replaced to a condition of unreliability.

WHAT ARE The names of Joan of arcs battles?

Rheims (l429) and Orleans ( same year) are her best known campaigns. there was a poem about Joan of Arc which unfortunately had a rhythmic quality that suggested the upbeat song- Happy Days are Here again- and there were various towns mentioned in the song- not necessarily battle sites. Tours, Arles and Domremy ( her home town) reply- and Joan of Arc goes riding by- it sounds TOO much like ( Happy Days are Here Again!)
