I want to buy the two guns owned by Pancho Villa. I think it’s cool that these historical firearms are being auctioned off – I am hoping actually that the Calamity Jane pistol gets picked up by the NRA, or is somehow donated to their museum. It’s a neat little piece of history, and deserves to be preserved.
The guns from Villa are really interesting to me; I’ve always been fascinated by that period of history. Despite the fact that he was a murderous, socialist bastard, the character of Pancho Villa himself is one I’ve always been interested in as well.
So, if anyone wants to float me a couple grand…
When my maternal grandmother was a little girl, Pancho Villa burned down their house. She had a lot of interesting stories about that time period.
The best part of Pancho Villa’s story is his last sentence, “Tell them I said something.”
