What swords might have been used at the Alamo battle?

EXCELLENT Fernando! great pictures, and surely suggest the presence of some swords there, though many donations there are simply 'of the period'.....still IMPORTANT , always possibilities.

Its been TOO long since Ive been there, I always dread San Antonio traffic. Definitely due for a trip so hopefully soon, hope to see the Collins collection.
Last summer I went berserk building a model of the Alamo....6 weeks of work in 100 degree heat...neighbors figured me for nuts. Mostly done, as seen here.
Far from exact or scale, but OK for yard art.

Thank you so much Fernando,
Jim
