Seems I've read that Monitor was another trade name used by the Crescent Firearms Company. They had a hundred or more trade names and provided guns for hardware stores. Not high quality, but if you have a .410 in nice shape it is worth consideration. I hope you will post pictures, tho that is difficult on this site. Welcome to our community!...Geo
