DuPont Duco would be a likely candidate.
The advertisement notes the .410 was built on a different frame size. Does this mean they used the same frame for 12s and 28s? I've only seen a few of these and handled just a handful, so I'm now curious about the frame sizing.

As for the finish and whether to change or leave it, my two cents ain't worth a nickel.
