We saw the trigger finger of Pancho Villa in Austin at the Museum of the Weird on November 22, 2023, in the bed of cotton and tin metal frame as seen in the pawn shop in El Paso.
[Mike, 11/27/2023]
Finger is still there.
[Jacob Krejci, 01/29/2022]A previous tipster had reported that the finger had been sold in 2020. It's nice to see that the finger has reappeared in its pawn shop window.
Sold! Only Nazi stuff and weird dried fish. And super loud Elvis out front.

The Trigger Finger in Austin has been there since at least 2007, but the Trigger Finger in El Paso has been there for far longer. Perhaps the Austin finger is a loving tribute to the El Paso original -- or maybe Pancho Villa fired with both hands, providing posterity with two trigger fingers.
