if these knives are Mexican they are most likely to be influenced by the Bowie itself .
After all James Bowie died at Alamo! |

forget Bowie...talking Mexico... Zapata is the man
( and as we all are speculating......why not perhaps could it not be influenced by Austrian / Habsburgian cold arms...thinking of Maximilian I of Mexico ) Last edited by gp; 24th October 2023 at 10:22 PM. |
