I sent the seller a message asking him why he was selling a Crescent Arms shotgun as a Rigby?

The Proof Marks are obvious forgeries too! Apart from the fact that they are just plain wrong the 'Not For Ball' mark was 1875 to 1887 and the 'Maximum' mark was 1896 to 1904. Not even researched it before adding the spurious marks. An English .410 just wouldn't be as heavy as that. Anyway, 1/2 ounce loads would not have come in until after 1913 here in England as all .410's prior to that had the 2" chamber for 3/8th. ounce of shot. What a Wally! Rigby's would not have turned out such a poorly finished firearm. The seller wants prosecuting. Lagopus.....

They went to all that trouble to engrave it and case color it, and didn't lengthen the short tang after they straightened it out for the straight grip conversion? As if Rigby would have put a short tang on a straight grip? Geez. And it has 33 bids at over $3k? Wow. That's just incredible.

I think someone posted this image of the Quail Model innerds here. This is the last and crude variant of the Crescent hammerless lock  Note the 'Rigby' SN is 6748

What is the rod extending from the back of the frame?

When they got done hogging that wood out there is not much left to bear against. I suspect if you wanted and did it right you end up with twice the wood in a well inlet stock job. Still even though one horn has chipped it has lasted a long time considering how little wood is left.
