Pancho Villa

[KGDiebold]

I was in San Antonio this weekend and visited the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum. Just thought I'd share an interesting find. This is a Winchester 1866 caliber 44 belonging to Pancho Villa's notorious female colonel "La Concha" pancho was a Mexican revolutionary general and based off of a quick internet search, would have been in use around 1914-1920

anyone have an idea as to who may have engraved this gun?

I have never seen scroll done exactly like that...no idea who!

 

[Roger Bleile]

It was probably engraved in Mexico. Not factory engraved or done by Nimschke.

Roger, I'm not suggesting this piece is one of his, but didn't Cole Agee engrave some guns for Pancho Villa? Or am I confusing him, or perhaps both parties, with someone else?
