1911 GOVERNMENT RARE LIMITED COLT PREMIER PRESIDENTE .38 SUPER 140 OF 200 5 INCH BARREL

Description:
The Premier Presidente is a tribute to Mexico’s first President, Guadalupe Victoria, a George Washington-esque figure who fought for independence, transforming Mexico into a Republic. The entire Premier Presidente honors the fight for independence and democracy and commemorates Mexico’s rich history.

Each side of the firearm includes a beautiful custom scroll. The left displays a depiction of the Virgin of Guadalupe, borders of floral patterns that frame a dramatic illustration of Victoria at the battle in Juego de Pelota and a banner declaring him “Benemérito de la Patria,” meaning “Benefactor of the Homeland.”

The right side of the firearm features Victoria’s sword being thrown across a moat that insurgent soldiers did not dare cross including the quote, “Va mi espada en prenda, voy por ella,” translated as, “There goes my sword as pledge, I’m going for it!” Guadalupe Victoria courageously swam across the moat and cut the rope of a bridge to allow the troops into the city. The rear panel marks a symbolic coat depicted from The Constitution of 1824, which transformed Mexico into a federal republic.
The top of the slide presents a portrait of Victoria in uniform naming him “Premier Presidente de México, Guadalupe Victoria.” The area in front of the rear sight depicts the Coat of Arms of the Mexican Federal Republic by decree in 1823 Eagle, and below sits the cross from the Presidential Coat of Arms.
