I am stumped on this. I have no idea what this 410? is.

Thoughts?

It was made in Belgium after 1893 and without checking Single Shot Rifles by de Haas, I think the action is called a warnant flobert action.

Yes, that is what it is. Better check chamber length.

Some of the early Belgian 410 bore guns were chambered for a 2" shell.

2" chamber also called 12 mm. I have been finding shells for this lately. Can be made from 444 brass as well someone told me.
Very nice gun. Post more pics if you can.

I think 410 bore cases can be made from 303 brass to0o, seem to remember a thread about that a few years ago.
