Little Pet 410 ga. Double.
 

Very cool looking little double.
Anyone know anything about these?

If it is a .44 cal with 1 1/2" chambers I suppose you could make shells from a .45 Colt or .44 Rem Mag with about 1/3 oz of shot.

I was glad to see that the chambers weren't reamed out. I figured that it was for the original .410 x 2". The 44 XL may be the proper cartridge. A few American companies made shotguns for the XL. It is made from the 44 WCF case and uses a long paper shot container. All the major U.S. companies made cartridges for it. That sure is a sweet little SxS!

Interesting info; making 44-40 brass shotshells.

Thomas: The H. & D. Folsom agent in Belgium, at least through 1914, was Louis Muller of Liege. Muller may have actually been in the employ of Folsom as he registered the Crescent trade marks in Belgium. He was also a gun maker and registered twelve trademarks 1889 to 1894 including:
Acme, Club, Climax, Star, Rival, Standard, Meteor, and I.X.L.
