GEN-U-INE Wells Fargo Gun
 

My buddy Charlie from the backwoods of Molasses Hollow saw a thread on here about somebody's Wells Fargo gun, and he wanted to show his, a A grade 11ga lifter that has Foster's name and Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo name makes it twice as valuable.

Not to be outdone, I too found that I have a Well Fargo gun. This a chopped stock, chopped barrels GH. The stock head is fractured where a Wells Fargo guard whacked Jess James over the head with it while beating back a train robbery. I've been trying to get rid of the gun and since we now know it is a Wells Fargo gun, I'm sure it is twice as valuable and you fellows will be calling non stop. The sticky covers the carving but if you buy it, it will come with the stock carved with Wells Fargo. Its not everyday you get a chance on a genuine provenanced Wells Fargo gun that whacked Jesse James.

If Jesse left any of his DNA on the stock when he got his hair parted, I'll consider it.

:rotf:

Next week we will have a back action lifter that is off face and with a cracked stock BUT, it can be unequivocably stated that it is possibly documented to be in Montana during the Battle at Little Big Horn Creek and could have been seen by an Indian or a soldier. Now that will bring the big bucks.

Not in the same league with all of that, but I have an original 20" BBL'd, Cody lettered M93 Winchester, that was purchased by some sort of "security" company in 1893. The Winchester records didn't say who the buyer was, but they bought 5 of them.
If guns could talk. . .

Coincidentally, I have the very same hatchet that George Washington used as a boy to cut down his father's cherry tree. In the three centuries since it left the Washington family the handle has been replaced seven times and it has had three new heads, but still... I have a letter of authentication around here someplace.

I don't think the wedge is original though...

Well farmgo miss stamped it gets better. Farm out I can disk it. Sorry

Dean, I have heard you mention your prized hatchet before. What a piece.

Todd: I also have a .38 Colt Revolver with "WF&Co." stamped on the bottom of the buttstrap along with a letter where it was shipped by Colt to WF in 1901.

That's nothing. I have the bed that George and Martha slept in... And - I own the house where the bed is located - hence when I say "George Washington Slept here" - I really mean it....

I was thinking about changing the sheets - but, they add such character and provenance...

Beat that, Dean Romigski.... ;)
