Emiliano Zapata's revolver
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Emiliano Zapata is a Mexican national hero. He was a general in the Mexican revolution until being ambushed and killed by an opposing general who had claimed that he wished to surrender.
Paul, a reader of the blog, emailed me photos of a revolver in his collection that was once owned by Zapata.
Many more photos after the jump.
[ Many thanks to Paul for emailing me the photos. ] (more…)
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!
