BTW, JIm, pleeze do contribute to my shipping question...

Good observation Manuel, but I think the poncho was intended as more of a garment for warmth and protection from the elements, while the chaps worn by cowboys likely did develop from the 'bocas' leggings.
Thank you Fearn! Actually I had some help from a very good friend in Spain
Manuel, I'm afraid I really cannot speak to this topic as my collecting days ended some time ago, and I have neither shipped nor received weapons in years. In those times however, an item listed as antique (over 100 yrs old) typically never had problems.
All the best,
Jim
