Okwaho, yes, the Moore Bowie has been reproduced in several editions. The original, which I have seen up close, is an impressive old knife, but hardly what most experts would consider Bowie to have carried. I think it is a Mexican knife. The Musso knife I think is a fake (risking lawsuit from Mr. Musso), but that is based on photos and what I know about knives, knife history, materials dating, etc...I have personal attachment to the so-called James Black knives through family history, so I am not impartial on that subject, perhaps, but aspects of that story rings true to me, whereas they do not to some skeptics. There WAS a James Black (some "experts" have written that he was myth). He did live and work as a blacksmith and silversmith in Washington, Ark. The Bowies did frequent the area (brother John owned a plantation in Ark; the brothers ran slaves up there from the coast; the brothers speculated in land in Ark). There is early newspaper story "documentation" (for what that is worth) for the Black making a Bowie knife story. There is family history related to the Carrigan knife as a Black made knife. There are numerous points of similarity between the Carrigan knife and several other coffin handled knives that point to the same maker (Black). These knives have been studied by master knifesmiths and compared to their satisfaction--one even said he thought the handles of a couple came from the same walnut tree as the Carrigan knife. There is a "Black-made" coffin handled knife inscribed as a gift from "Col. Bowie". And then there is the infamous "Bowie No.1" which now resides in the Territorial Museum in Little Rock. A huge Black made knife with a 13" blade engraved "Bowie No.1" on a silver plate inlaid into the handle. What does that mean? There are other points, but those are the main ones...Clearly Black did not make the sandbar knife (but did he "pretty it up"?--Noah Smithwick relates that Bowie had it mounted in silver and Black was a silversmith). Clearly Rezin had several knives made by other people such as Shively of Phila. and Searles of Baton Rouge. What James was carrying in the Alamo we will never know....
