Winchester | Model 9410 | .410 Bore | Investment Arms Athens County, Ohio Commemorative | 24-Karat Gold Plated | No. 9 of 10 The Winchester Model 9410 is a distinctive American-made lever-action shotgun chambered in .410 bore, combining the traditional appearance and operation of Winchester's legendary Model 94 rifle with the versatility of a small-bore shotgun. Introduced in 2001, the Model 9410 was manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut, by U.S. Repeating Arms Company under the Winchester name. Its relatively short production period, ending with the closure of the New Haven manufacturing facility in 2006, has contributed to its appeal among Winchester collectors. This particular example is an exceptionally limited Investment Arms Athens County, Ohio Commemorative, identified as No. 9 of only 10. Featuring extensive 24-karat gold plating, detailed commemorative artwork, and a distinctive large-loop lever, this shotgun represents a highly specialized commemorative variation of the Winchester Model 9410. The receiver, 24" barrel, barrel bands, and large-loop lever are all 24-karat gold plated, creating a striking appearance that distinguishes this example from standard-production Winchester Model 9410 shotguns. The large-loop lever complements the firearm's traditional Western styling, while the extensive commemorative artwork highlights the history and heritage of Athens County, Ohio. The gold-plated receiver features detailed etched scenes depicting the county's history. The left side of the receiver displays an outline map of Athens County, a train, and a coal mine, recognizing the region's geography, railroad heritage, and historic coal-mining industry. The right side of the receiver features imagery depicting salt production and frontier life, reflecting additional aspects of Athens County's early development and settlement. The wood furniture incorporates complementary engraved artwork. The left side of the forearm features a turkey accompanied by the inscription "ATHENS COUNTY," while the right side displays another turkey with the inscription "OHIO." Both sides of the pistol-grip area feature horse-and-wagon engravings, further emphasizing the county's frontier and transportation history. The left side of the buttstock is engraved with a buck and an outline of Athens County, completing the commemorative theme. The combination of detailed historical imagery and extensive gold plating gives this shotgun a distinctive appearance among Winchester commemoratives. Mechanically, the Model 9410 utilizes a Model 94-style lever-action operating system, incorporating an exposed hammer and tubular magazine. Its 24" barrel and traditional sporting configuration retain the recognizable characteristics of Winchester's classic lever-action firearms. The shotgun is accompanied by its original Investment Arms green fabric and leather hard case, along with the original paperwork. With a reported production of only 10 examples, this Athens County commemorative is an unusual regional collectible celebrating the area's history through detailed artwork and specialized finishes.
