I have a copy of a "Hunting & Fishing" or "National Sportsman" from the 1930's, when WHF was editor and publisher, advertising a DHE .410 for $100.
There is a possibility Foster was selling his own gun here. It was either Jonathan or Bill (his grandsons) who told me that Grandad sold his graded Parker .410 in order to help cover college tuition costs. I'll look around for the ad and post a picture here.
