I assume the prototype 410 was the gun featured in the Autumn 2015 issue of Parker pages. The article said "He used a 28 gauge , 00 size frame and milled it out to a 000 frame" and like you said he used .410 Lefever barrels from Ithaca and "he found some A-1 Special grade wood that had been taken from a 28 gauge gun" Like you said, a real mongrel. Wouldn't it have been interesting to work in that shop in those days and see how things developed?
