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
