Item Details
This Ithaca exposed hammer Damascus short-barrel (20") "stagecoach gun" was made in circa 1900 and features a "Wells Fargo & Co. Express" stock stamp as well as "W.F. & CO." receiver and water table stamps. In the 19th century, customers who wanted to transport their money and valuables securely turned to Wells Fargo. The company had built a reputation for taking safety seriously, and its stagecoaches carried gold, silver, and other valuables from one location to the next. To safeguard such shipments, Wells Fargo shipped gold and other treasure in sturdy wooden boxes carried in the front boot of a stagecoach or secured inside the stagecoach in an iron safe. Despite these precautions, criminals found Wells Fargo’s treasure boxes too tempting to resist, and robbery attempts were common. To reduce crime, the company hired armed messengers to “ride shotgun” and sit upfront with drivers to guard valuable shipments. To pursue criminals after a robbery occurred, the company hired a small force of special agent investigators. These agents helped build the reputation for security that Wells Fargo is still known for today. Although Wells Fargo "Stagecoach Guns" have been heavily reproduced in the 20th Century, this gun is believed to be a genuine/ original piece of Century Wells Fargo history. This gun appears to be in good working order. George Sheets Collection
