Good job you lot are on to it as someone may have been taken in by it.
Pete M, Ron Gabriels book only touches the surface of British .410's. No doubt Rigbys would have sold examples and may even have made some. .410's can be found here bearing all manner of makers names. I think the current owner of Rigbys name would be most upset. Lagaopus.....
Yes, I know the Gabriel book is not the final word. On the American side of it, he misses the ball all together. Researcher has turned up ad's, etc. that basically make Gabriel's writing mute. Gabriel never follows the different American development path that was terminated when the 410 made it's appearance.
Still, I thought he would not have missed a 410 produced by such a storied London name. Perhaps I am wrong.
I agree the current owners of the Rigby name would not be amused.
Given the poor workmanship evident in the photos, how can some one bid $3k plus even if was genuine?
