Thank you for the replies! I've actually learned a lot without actally knowing the make or model number off hand.

I've taken some pictures of the shotgun. It is a decently old shotgun, that I know. It still works as I've done some skeet shooting with it, but I can't find a serial number or the maker anywhere on the gun itself. The only markings I've found was a number 2 in the chamber and the "safety" mark.

I've taken some pictures to help

And the safety switch


I also have another shotgun, its a double barrel and belonged to an old friend. Its so old, I don't think I'll be hunting with it. Its an Iver Johnson "Herculese Grade" and the serial number is 9121. Not sure how old it actually is but it definitely hasn't been fired in at least 40 years.

I used to be whipper-in on live hunts for fox/coyote/bobcat on horseback a couple years ago with the hounds and I loved it. We would mainly catch coyotes but every once in a while the hounds would run down a cat or fox. The guns we used were 22 revolvers and only used on the dogs. We used rat shots to discipline the pack if they got out of control (50 hunting dogs after one animal, you understand).

The hunt safety courses in my area are already filled but I am on the waiting list. I'd like to get the 410 cleaned and inspected before hunting anyways so I've got time
