You are correct - Jim Bowie got his Arkansaw Toothpick - the Bowie Knife on his way to the Alamo in Texarkana, AR.

The original family that made it lived in Texarkana, AR.

They all died off and now the knife is made for a U.S. Army unit at Mountainburg, AR.

You still stumped on what unit wears it?

(If you want to see a pic of it, FRmail me.
