Grab the gun Todd. Wells Fargo guns are desirable. If the seller was sincere, there is no reason not to believe him . The worst case of total BS I have ever witnessed was at a Baltimore show years ago. The seller had a destroyed VH on the table that he was trying to sell to some poor soul who seemed to be buying the story. The gun was polished to the extent that the engraving was completely missing and the parts of the frame no longer fit properly. Some idiot sanded the stocks to the point where the wood was much lower than the metal. The buyer said that the gun was special ordered that way from Parker by Mell Ott, the famous baseball player of the 20's. I never interfere with a seller trying to make a sale, but I told the prospective buyer that the story was BS and the gun was a wreck. I said this in front of the seller and got great pleasure in doing so. That seller was totally lacking in integrity.
