Need Coach Gun ID help - 08/03/18 06:26 PM

A co-worker of mine has inherited a SxS shotgun that was his grandmothers. It has Little Diamond on the stock. Dual hammers and triggers. Bore looks like a .410, but modern .410 shells are just lightly to big to chamber. Sooo....
1: is it .410.
2: how old is it, and who made it and from where?
3: value if all possible.

Listed below are some pictures and proof marks.

When you say that a modern .410 is "too big" do you mean in diameter or length?

Most modern .410 loads are 3" long. Older .410s used to use 2.5" shells.
