For those that don't have John's book, here is a brief history of some of the .410s in Dr. Michael's collection. Monogram - only 2 made, they both started out as Field Grades and were changed at the factory. Both signed by A.E. Kraus near top lever. Made for the president of Colt Firearms and the president of General Motors. Crown Grade - 6 made Eagle - 1 made for E.P. Ryther foreman at Hunter Arms case hardening. Specialty - 33 made Trap - 2 made Skeet Special - 29 made Ideal - 220 made Field - 2,237 made So even having a Field Grade would be special. Maybe Dr. Michael's would be gracious enough for some close ups.
