I have just purchased a second Wells Fargo as I wanted a pair, a little steel wool and metal polish plus a rear sight notch in the hammer and they both look like nickel plated Colts.
I prefer this replica to all the other Denix Western revolvers. Like others I would love it in all black with ivory grips.
The Colt Wells Fargo has been one of my favourite replicas, I have several others but the little Colt can be made to look more like a genuine antique revolver with very little effort. I have had mine for several years and have just sanded down the imitation wood grips and found that they now look a lot more realistic.
One reviewer suggested a black Wells Fargo with imitation ivory grips this would be a great addition to the Denix range.
I wish Denix would make this Colt replica in all nickel and in all black and make some of these Wells Fargo replicas with imitation ivory grips, surely it wouldn't cost a lot to make those small changes and the increased sales would be worth it. While Denix are doing this they might consider making a replica baby dragoon with a square back trigger guard and four in barrel but that would cost a lot more to time and money to do.
Good video, the Colt Wells Fargo makes a good hideout pistol and was very popular especially the 1849 models with loading levers. I'd like to see a all black model with ivory grips and a five shot cylinder with .31 chambers and maybe a 4" barrel.
