Description:
Beautiful little gun! It was orig ordered in 50-110 express with 26" oct and #5 bbl. Plain trigger. No rear seat. Returned to the factory 4-16-09 and refitted with 24" full round bbl #3-1/2 weight which all the 405's were. Orig wood in excellent cond with most orig lacquer. Hard rubber shotgun style buttplate. Overall gun is excellent+ cond with 98% bright vivid glossy blue and vivid case colors on the hammer and lever. Flat top sporting rear sight. Lyman ivory bead front sight and high wall folding Lyman tang sight. Mint bore. I've known about this gun for over 40 years as it was owned locally by Dwight Marshall who found it and sold it 40 years ago. It had been in the family for many years. The only 405 I have ever handled and actually seen. A very scarce gun!
