Pancho Villa guns are right up their with the rest of them. His widow was famous for peddling "Pancho's favorite gun" I have one in my collection that is a stunning cased Model 1861 Colt Navy factory conversion .38RF, beautiful engraving with carved Ivory Mexican Snake & Eagle stocks and vestiges of gold plating. Case has brass plate that says" Pancho Villa " ( Colt records indicate the gun was made years before Pancho was born, but doesn't mean he didn't steal it somewhere later on ! ) I think I paid about 100 Pesos for it in Mexico around 1945. Es un pistola muy grande, Seņor ! Ed.
