Default Galazan Selling a 410 Reproduction

I see Galazan is selling a 410 DHE reproduction on GI today. I've not seen one for sale before. Price seems high, but how many are out there for sale. No pictures of the water table or barrel flats shown in the listing.

There's a lot of strangeness going on with this gun, which leads to several questions, such as:

1. Why no serial number on the trigger guard tang?
2. Barrel wedge engraving, what's up with that?
3. Turkish walnut wood?
4. Appears to be a 00-frame, if it was originally a 28ga. where are the 28ga. set of barrels?
5. Were these .410 barrels produced by CSMC when they offered them for 00-frame Repros several years ago, (no rib matting and non-typical Repro DHE stamping)?
6. Could this possibly be the first .410 00-frame Repro (not part of a 2-bbl.set) that most, if not all of us have ever seen?
7. I'm sure there are still other questions to be asked and answered.

I suspect this to be a made-up gun, put together years after leaving the factory.

Here's the Guns International listing: https://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...n_id=101869307

As soon as I saw the listing I sent a message. At about 8:00 PM I was informed it was sold.

It appears to have been returned for whatever reason as it's once again available:

I wonder what's going on with that top rib right over the joint of the doll's head extension.... it looks pretty swaged...?

This gun was at the Southern. I tried to pick it up and examine it but it was sitting in the direct sun for hours and barrels burned my hands.

Is that explanation the politically correct way to say the gun was "hot"? (wink!)

I sent them an email about it being the same one listed 2-3 months ago. They answered back & said they originally had 3 & now have 2 left. So, what's pictured may not be what you'll get; wood is from previous listing.

When someone is selling a gun online, one where things like wood grain are very important to the value of the gun, or even ones particluar likes or dislikes.... Sellers IMHO should always show the gun that is actually being sold. Even on new guns. I bought a gun last year, thought I was getting gun pictured, I did not. It did not say the gun was a stock photo, the wood was still nice, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I said something to them, and their response was, pretty much tough ****, we don't have time to provide exact gun pics of every gun we sell. That's ok, but it should be stated in their posting.
