"... Among his treasures are one of Davy Crockett's rifles and his post-death receipt from the Texian Army. They share space with Jim Bowie's knives"

God sakes alive. Davy Crockett's rifle and Jim Bowie's knives. Taken from the owners hands at the Alamo, yet.

$$$$$ to the max, if ever auctioned.

I don’t know about the authenticity of the Crockett items, but according to several books about the history of the Alamo, they all claim that Bowie’s knife has never been found.

***Davy Crockett’s rifle and Jim Bowie’s knives.***

Crockett’s rifle is actually in the State House Museum in Little Rock Arkansas. I saw it in the late 1960s when I lived there.

Maybe he had more than one.
