Dave thanks I went back and re-read Walt's article, fascinating. I own a first year 410 and just love it for what it is. I find it interesting that Ithaca jobbers were not supportive of Ithaca bringing out a 410, but they did anyway in 1925. It seems the quality of the Nitro improved in the later years,
I have a good friend that purchased a Crescent 410, nice gun for what it is, I think a step up in finish to the Nitro Special.
These guns are a very interesting part of our gun making heritage that I completely overlooked. I kinda like them used but not abused meaning that they have served there intended purpose and were cared for by people that couldn't afford Parkers or Foxes but treasured them just the same.
