There's one of these at every gun show, it's ashame they make them out of decent guns like Parkers sometimes.

Ive seen exactly one authentic Wells Fargo gun in all my running around. It was a low end Belgian hammer gun with only a small WF & Co. die stamped into the stock. But it came with a clearly authentic receipt where it had been purchased during an equipment deaccession from Wells Fargo.

This was long before the heavy faking days of Western Americana.

It lost the hammer during an attempted robbery.
