Own a Piece of Las Vegas Lore – The Guns That Defined a Gambling Icon!
 
Step into the high-stakes world of old-school Vegas with this ultra-rare, identical pair of early 1900s Colt Single Action Army revolvers, chambered in .38 WCF (.38-40 Winchester Center Fire). These aren't just firearms; they're artifacts from the wild heart of Sin City, personally owned and carried by the legendary Benny Binion – the cowboy casino boss who built the Horseshoe Casino empire and revolutionized poker with the World Series of Poker.
 
Picture this: Binion, the tough Texas transplant turned Vegas mogul, striding through his casino with these gleaming beauties holstered at his sides. Known for his no-nonsense style and love of high-rolling games, he was often photographed with these exact revolvers, their bright nickel finish catching the neon lights and their lustrous mother-of-pearl grips adding a touch of outlaw elegance. These guns weren't props – they were Binion's constant companions in an era when Vegas was still a frontier town ruled by grit and gamble.
 
But the story gets even wilder! In a fateful poker game that epitomizes the all-or-nothing spirit of Las Vegas, Binion wagered these prized possessions and lost them to Pete Stauff, a local business tycoon.
