Was at local shop,they have a "wells Fargo marked
L.C. Smith SXS with Damascus barrels and hammers.
BUT there is no top lever for loading and unloading the chambers. Also, it had a new cross-bolt to hold the wrist together as it cracked and broke. SOhow does it break open?? |

They have a "No Way I Won't Pay"!
Don't know... don't care....I wouldn't even entertain the conversation. |

Why don't you ask the LGS that owns it, instead of some random dudes on the interwebs, that have never seen said shotgun?
Could be broken. Could be an under-lever. Could be nearly anything...

If it's an OLD Baker, "made by L C Smith", pushing the front
trigger forward may unlock it. Other popular methods were underlever and sidelever--but I don't know enough about old L C Smiths to know if they are even an option. I do know that there are far more GENUINE Wells Fargo!! marked shotguns out there than were ever produced. Along with London 1851 Colts, Walker Colts and a few others, the counterfeits way outnumber the real McCoy. Caveat Emptor. |

Almost any "Wells Fargo" shotgun-isn't.

Eve if it was, it is still only a $50 wall hanger

Buy the gun, not the story. What would you pay if it didn't say Wells Fargo? Pay that, or pass.
