bmarvin Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 UPS just dropped this one off.Nothing too special, just a 8" .410, 37,000 serial number range The gun was registered in the amnesty of 1968 by a gentleman from Ohio.He passed away in 2002 and his wife inherited the gun.The son had the gun transfered to him in June 2014.I bought it October of 2014 and it was approved March 19th of 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Great looking gun, I'm starting to see more and more of these.What time frame were they popular and did any mobster types ever use them?Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarvin Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 They were produced in the 1920's and 1930's.I don't recall any stories of mob usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwl Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have seen one 28 ga Handygun 8" for sale in the last 35 years, at the time I didn't realize how rare they were and passed for a machinegun. Do you by chance have a Flues frame Model A Auto-Burglar for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
