Pancho Villa's Trigger Finger is still there. It's displayed in the window with no price tag. Inside the shop are plenty of other strange things, including a full size mummy for sale.

Didn't fit my hand so I didn't buy it. This is the greatest pawn shop I've ever been in and has SO much more than this finger (baby mermaid skeleton, for one). You MUST go here if in the area! You have no choice!

David Delgadillo, manager of Dave's Pawn Shop in El Paso, Texas, has sent what we assume is a photo of his finger pointing at the mummified finger of Pancho Villa, proudly displayed in the shop window. Beyond giving a sense of scale, this finger-finger novelty snapshot is recommended for the human body part photo portfolio of any dedicated U.S. traveler.
