Custom Carved – Have We Lost Our Heritage?

Have we lost our heritage? How many people have given this any thought? I for one have. While custom carving this coach gun shot gun, I began wondering this very thing. With out Wells Fargo Bank to carry on the tradition of using the stagecoachs for their advertising. We would have lost this beautiful image years ago. The old west is fast becoming lost to our modern ways of life.

The picture above is a very rough carving of the pattern to be put on the coach gun.

This is yet another reason I decided to carve the abandoned stage coach on the ICA coach gun. Not only will this custom carved coach gun preserve the memories and the history of the old west. It also adds trememdous value to any gun collector’s personal collection. This gun will be hand carved and hand painted. There will not be enough room for the basket weave pattern to be put on this gun. Is this something that you are looking for on your gun? If so please drop me a line or call me to discuss your options and what you would like on your gun.

Custom Carved Stage Coach Gun

I’ve started another gun stock. This gun is a custom carved stage coach gun shotgun. The last coach gun I carved was such a great success, I decided to carve another one. This gun will be carved/engraved with an abandoned stage coach. It is to symbolize how we are loosing our western heritage. I would like to be able to save our history in some way. This is my attempt at saving and sharing some of this history.

Here is a little information about this gun.

The gun stock will be custom carved and hand painted. This gun will not have a basket weave.  The forend of this gun is to narrow to support the pattern. This gun will make a great addition to the Wells Fargo Stagecoach collection. I look forward to showing you the finished project. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

CARVED GREENER SHOTGUN

I have been given a unique opportunity to carve a stagecoach on a W. W. Greener replica shotgun. This carved greener shotgun was completed for a great great grandson of the Wells Fargo Stageline. The great great grandfather was one of the original gunmen employeed by the Wells Fargo Stagelines of long ago.

This gun will always remind my customer of his family history. The story is now well preserved, carved here on the replica of his Greener shotgun. He will no doubt hand this gun down to his children and they to their for generations to come.

I have found it very interesting reading the history of the W. W. Greener shotgun. I hope you enjoy learning as much about this as I have.
