The 1932 .410 bore skeet brochure only mentions VHE, that special boring that was developed and 3" shell compatibility. It goes on to state that you can have the gun made to your specifications. The image shows a half pistol grip, ST, and BTFE.
The 3-inch .410-bore shell wasn't introduced until mid-1933 with the Winchester Model 42. I suppose industry insiders beyond Winchester/Western may have known it was coming.
