What year is a 410 hsb ruso Chicago with a rooster on it model w?
A143490
Can the HSB Ruso 410-44 fire the 44-40 caliber?
Yes - in fact, that is the .44 calibre cartridge it is intended for, the .44-40 shot cartridge, which uses either a paper or wood sabot to hold the shot. Most that I have seen are also capable of firing the .44 XL, which is a lengthened .44-40 with the shot inside of the brass, rather than using the sabot. While you can fit a 2-1/2" .410 shell in the HSB Ruso, it should not be fired - it's only chambered for the 2" shells. IIRC, the only 2" .410 shells are the high brass shells.THIS SHOTGUN IS NOT DESIGNED NOR INTENDED TO USE MODERN .410 SHOTGUN SHELLS, AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR SUCH. The .410 used in the HSB Ruso (and other .410 shotguns of the period) was something of a predecessor to the modern .410.

HD Folsom/Crescent made both single-barrel and double-barrel shotguns using the Whippet name for Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett (huge hardware catalog store in Chicago) from around 1900 until the late 1920's. If the gun is a single-shot, value is going to top out at $100. Double-barrel .410 shotguns like yours can reach over $400-$500 if in excellent condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Where can you find information about a 410 single action shotgun marked HSB Co Ruso Chicago with a roster engraved around Ruso?
The marking is "Cruso", the 'c' is part of the rooster. Cruso is a brand used by Hibbard, Spencer, and Bartlett, a Chicago based wholesale hardware house. They sold products to local hardware retailers. The Cruso guns were contracted by HSB to companies like Crescent, Stevens, Savage, etc, who made inexpensive firearms, usually shotguns, for other companies. These guns should be inspected by a gunsmith before attempting to shoot them. Modern ammunition has hotter powder than these guns were made for which could make them dangerous to shoot. HSB made a variety of objects with the Cruso name on them including padlocks, tools, tinware, livestock supplies, sporting goods, and the list goes on and on.. Other brands used by HSB are OVB (Our Very Best), Rev-O-Noc, True Value, Il-A-Noy, and others. HSB products are somewhat collectible. thckk.org is a place to start.
