The Pancho Villa Revolver is a Colt Frontier 45 caliber, engraved with meticulous detail, making it a unique work of art.

As commander of the Northern Division, Villa was known for using various weapons during his campaigns, among them his iconic revolver.
This valuable piece, meticulously preserved and exhibited in our museum, was generously donated by Mr. Juan Francisco Rocha Aceves, who recognized the historical and cultural importance of the revolver. It is a tangible testimony of the turbulent times of the Mexican Revolution and the relevance of Pancho Villa in the history of our country.
