Santa Ana replaced that leg with a wooden one and we took it away from him at San Jacinto.

Sometime during the late 70's or eary 80's the state of Texas traded the leg for the Alamo battle flag that was kept Mexico.

I believe that Mexico still retains the Alamo battle flag. Perhaps you are thinking of another flag.

There are a number of historic artifacts that remain in Mexico. A painting of a siege in this region was given (back???) to Mexico a couple of years ago (it used to reside in the Houston MFA).
