Alamo Defenders
Some Alamo defenders, including David Crockett, are believed to have used percussion rifles, like the Pennsylvania Rifle, & others the converted Brown Bess rather than flintlock muskets.
The remains from the Battle of the Alamo were picked up by the locals and this was one gun. Twisted barrel with a broken forearm! Pieces were saved and a small Calvary Carbine rifle was the remains left over. The only record of the gun is that a young Confederate horseman carried it during the Battle of Brownsville his great- great grandson parted with it to me. Under the command of Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke (1300) Confederate cavalrymen around August 1863 went in to battle. The battle saw the capture of Brownsville by the Union forces. So much for a History Lesson. It has been such a cherish favorite of mine for years just to think one of the men with this gun may have stood beside Davy! "MAKE ME AN OFFER"
