The Trigger Finger of Pancho Villa
At Dave’s Pawn Shop in downtown, one can buy "El Dedo Pistolero de Pancho Villa", the trigger finger of Pancho Villa, for 9500 dollars. Pancho Villa was one of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution and fought in the Battle of Juarez. Store manager David Delgadillo said that in 2004, a man came in offering to pawn "on-the-cheap" the right trigger finger Villa supposedly used to fire many a pistol. The seller wouldn’t admit where he got it, however, and Delgadillo won’t say how much the store paid to acquire it. “We don’t know if it’s real or not, but it’s still a nice piece,” he said.
