I saw a "Quail Hammerless" at a firehouse gun show some years ago and wanted to buy it as an entry into my new collecting mania of "American .410 Bore Hardware Store Guns". It was in very good condition but not as nice as the one you pictured. I offered cash but he wouldn't come off of his (I thought) very high price of $1400. I figured it would have been a wonderful $800-900 gun. I even went back the second day of the show and tried the "4PM; Give the Dog A Bone" ploy, but he gave no joy. Neat gun, but I don't really miss it that much.
