Thank you Bill for the response. It would be helpful because as it stands, with the magnitude of the counterfeiting problem coupled with Wells Fargo’s position as outlined in #10 https://www.wellsfargo.com/about/history/faqs#Q10 the odds of taking the gamble on a letter adding another $100 to a gun that already has a taint to it doesn’t seem like a risk work taking considering the track record. Since firearm acquisition was not a centralized function of the company and was done locally it can be assumed there was no standard for marking inventory as well. The odds of a gun lettering to Wells Fargo when the likelihood is it was probably purchased from a hardware or mercantile store hardly seems worth the trouble. However, if there was some official tool available to distinguish what is known and has a confirmed documented link to parker rather than all WF marked parker guns being treated as suspect can only help the collectability of the confirmed gun. It would also clarify if there were parker guns that are confirmed sold to WF if they were marked in any way to help provide insight for confirming counterfeits. Can you imagine the collectability of a WF marked parker gun that can be confirmed with a positive link to parker. We can only dream.
