Elton Bingham was my grandfather, too, so the man who first posted this is my cousin. (Hey, Cuz.) I came across this website while doing some family research and thought I'd add that another of Elton Bingham's longguns is still in use and is in excellent condition.
I inherited his varmint gun: It's a J. STEVENS Model 59A .410. It's tube fed and shoots both 2.5 and 3 inch shotshells. I saw my grandfather pick off "rabbits on the run" several times with it.
The .410 was heading toward extinction, but it's regained some popularity as a weapon of self defense. At close range and loaded with Winchester's Defender shotshells, it's as devastating as a .357 magnum. But its energy is quickly expended and the pattern is tight, so collateral damage to the walls and the house next door is minimized.
