I picked up a nondescript Colt Police positive special at a gun show several years ago. The butt was stamped W F & Co and I asked the seller if it was in fact a Wells Fargo gun? He just shrugged his shoulders. Keep in mind that there's a ton of faked Wells Fargo guns around. However; A letter from the Cost historian confirmed that it is in fact a pistol that was shipped to Wells Fargo. This adds considerable value to what is otherwise a common pistol. Jim

I've got one of Pedersen's double rifles. His ownership didn't add anything to the value when I bought it. It just made it some what interesting.

The famous publishing giant "Pete" Peterson's guns brought wholesale prices, here in America, right in Southern California where he's most famous!
The reason for Peterson's guns pricing and long time on the market is I believe most if not all of his guns had SHORT L.O.P.

Boy, I'd pay DOUBLE for a gun owned by Buddy Hackett. Speaking of which, anybody know the whereabouts of any guns formerly owned by Jan Murray? Shecky Green? Howzabout Charlie Callas?

I know where one of Artie Shaw's trap guns is. Been for sale in the same shop for a long time.

WOW! Could there possible be a Wonko the Sane gun out there for sale? To be legit it would have to have a black painted stock covering a many times cut and recut stock to fit with happy faces with bullets in the skull and nekked lady photos glued to the stock. And you guys wondered if Wonko was really a classy guy?!
Missed you at the Reno show, Chas.

Pete -
I looked for you but I guess you saw me first hahaha
All else I saw was a mass of overpriced sh*t. Substantial number of buy-by-pound/sell-by-oz sorta folks. Fortunately my need gauge was on zero.
If I plan to off any of my special guns I'll let you know first.
have a day

Wanker, I picked up (dirt cheap) a minty Chas Daley/Lindner with a $2000 piece of Circassian (12 ga). However, most everything else in which I had an interest was well overpriced. Sales were rather flat but the guy I help there bought and traded well. Prices can get reasonable when cash starts talking. A friend bought a very nice Parker DH or DHE 28 gauge for $12K in line before the guy got into the show. That was worth double.
