Has there ever been any articles done in the Double Gun Journal on this 410 ? If so does anyone know which one ?

That gun was brought to the second HOF banquet by Charlie Herzog. He took it to each table and allowed anyone who wanted to, to hold it. He asked that no photos be taken. I thought the story was Charles Parker Jr. Got a set of 410 barrels from Ithaca and had them fitted to a frame. After stocking, the gun was shown around the plant and production began shortly after. It was a cool little gun.

Lefever barrels according to Bill Mullins who wrote the story for Parker Pages.

I defer to Mr. Mullins.

Correct, the rib on the barrel set is Lefever Nitro Special.

I am having trouble looking up this on RIAs website. Does anyone know what the .410 sold for?

Bill Mullins 12-22-2018 11:35 PM

Brian, I don’t think it ever made the auction. Possibly a private sale??

Bill Zachow 12-23-2018 08:39 AM

Dean, if my memory is still working right, I believe those barrels were made by Ithaca.

Dean Romig 12-23-2018 11:03 AM

Lefever/Ithaca barrels to be specific Bill.
