What’s Included
- EIG Eibar .410 Bore single-shot shotgun
Proofed in Eibar, Spain, this shotgun carries Eibar proof marks and markings including "850 KGS" and "CHOKE 9.5 F1" on the flats, indicating its verified test status and factory choke designation. The barrel and receiver flats also show a repeating "410–77" stamp.
The 25 inch barrel is rollmarked ".410 GAUGE 3 inch CHAMBER" and "GUARANTEED FOR SMOKELESS POWDER," reflecting its intended ammunition and era-appropriate proof language. The chamber is cut for 3 inch .410 shells, and capacity is one round.
The receiver has a silver-tone finish with a rolled hunting scene featuring a dog and flying birds, accented by decorative rosettes. A blued barrel contrasts the receiver, giving the gun a traditional two-tone appearance.
Sighting is straightforward with a front bead and no rear sight, consistent with a classic single-shot .410. Operation is via a top-tang unlocking lever, and the design is hammerless.
The checkered wood pistol-grip stock and long, slim, checkered fore-end with a metal escutcheon provide a secure grasp and complement the engraved receiver for a cohesive, classic look.
