    Gun Traders Guide lists it as $94 for Good up to $172 NIB. H&R collector may pay a touch more for the 410. Discontinued in 1942. Made in 28, 14mm, and 410 in light frame, and 12, 16, 20, 28, and 410 in heavy frame.

    the H&R Folding Model was made between 1924 and 1941. there were two frame sizes standard frame 12, 16, 20 gauges & 410 bore. small frame (lightweight model) in 410-12mm, 14mm and 28 gauges. if yours is only marked 410 it was made after 1936 and sould have 3 inch chambers.

    the folding model wa carried in the catalog for about 17 years but production must have been low as they are not seen often especially the small frame (lightweight) model. start it at auction For $125 and i bet it goes for a lot more than that.

    this design was popular in europe (folding) before the H&R was introduced but H&R held a U.S. patent for this folding gun. i believe the patent actually was for the ball bearing detent used in the folding mechanism.

    If you happen to put it up for auction or sale let us know. I have a couple of them and would be interested in buying another. Thanks--Greg
