Well its an eagle head, but Glen, you'd be the one to say which type (Thurkle etc). I can only imagine that there must be examples that had Spanish motto blades. However, I think some Mexican swords had eagle heads as well, but offhand not sure of details. Bowie was after all a Mexican citizen by marraige, so possible, but this seems American.

Always curious why nobody has ever mentioned swords AT the Alamo.
