I have been following the price on Skeeter 410's for a bit now. I do not know why, but the price is way above the quality I would expect at that level. I have not seen a Skeeter 410 for under $2,000.
The first american sxs in 410 was built by Parker. This just a few years after your Winchester 20 was introduced. Shortly after that Ithaca followed. Then the flood gates opened for the 410 sxs in the US.
Many years ago, I used to take my dad out for some hand trap. He no longer cared for the 12ga because of recoil. I picked up a Savage 410 him. He would nail the clays every time. I couldn't hit a barn with that gun back then. It used to give him great pleasure to out shoot me with that 410. :-)
