The history of this .410 is not in the PP Digital Archives and I don't know much at all about it except from the few pictures in my saved picture files.

I can only say that at the 2008 Spring Southern it was passed around among a select few behind the Parker/Smith tent. I have no idea who brought it there. Austin took the pictures and I have these three.

Dean, are you sure of the dates those pictures were taken? This gun was brought into the tent at the 2019 Southern by a gentlemen from NC I believe. It sure got some attention from Swanson and others. I wish I could remember his name but he actually left us display the gun for a couple of days. I do seem to remember that he sent it out to be engraved. I've got to believe this gun was talked about on this forum back in 2019 but I couldn't find anything. The gun was at Remington on December 9th, 1942 for reconditioning. It was a VHE .410 with 28" barrels. I was glad I was able to inspect and have my picture taken with the gun. What a beauty!
