What is this?

Curious which gun this "mexican gun" is, from the Old glory pershing / pancho villa range

My best guress would be either a Canon de 75 modèle 1897, or a 75mm Model L 30 1909 Krupp Cannon.

It's possible it is nothing in particular, and is simply representative of the guns at the time.

That page says "Poncho Villa." 

When I open my chain of stores selling traditional Latin American apparel, that's the name I'm going to use.

i've had a suggestion it might be a 1896 German 77mm Feldkanone aswell

i have no idea at all myself
it might very well be a generic gun as you say

[Calimero]

It's the Canon de 75 modèle 1897, the same gun is also in their WWI French and American range

* EDIT... or maybe not the gun barrel seem shorter and the gun shield is not exactly the same

[DS615]

I do know there was a "Mountian" version of the  Canon de 75 modèle 1897, so perhaps that explains the shorter barrel and different shield?
