Almost 100 years ago the infamous Pancho Villa, hero & outlaw, was assassinated in Hidalgo del Parral, Mexico, a short distance from his hacienda. Offered without reserve, the consignors sat in the audience with great anticipation hoping it would be bought by someone who would share this important piece of history with the world. Estimated to bring $150,000 to $250,000, auctioneer Troy Black opened the bidding at $125,000 and quickly escalated the increments until it became a two-bidder war at $500,000. The bidding competition ensued until the hammer dropped on the winning bid of $625,000 ($718 including buyer’s premium) -- new world record for a saddle at auction!
