My guess is the Wells Fargo Company gets a request like this almost daily. These are heavily faked, every gun show has one or two it seems like. I've never heard of one that was real.

I saw a gun this weekend that was marked Wells Fargo & Co it had a 22 stamped in the metal, barrels 24" This gun was a Forehand? the man also had a copy of an order from WFCo showing the order for 20 of these side by sides. Could not authenticate, Was there a Gun Co named forehand ? Gary

Forehand and Wadsworth was a gun maker or at least a gun jobber back in the day. I've had a pistol marked with that name and a side hammer single shot marked them too.

Yes, I believe Forehand was either a part of, or bought by, Hopkins & Allen.

Forehand & Wadsworth made beautiful revolvers. Their 44 brings as much as a good large frame S&W (Not a N Frame, a Top Break like the Schofield, No.3 American etc.)
