L.C. Smith Field Grade Sidelock Double Shotgun
serial #346090, 12 ga (2 3/4''), 30'' Armor Steel barrels choked full in both with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 92% original blue, appearing stronger under ambient light, with spots of silvering at the breeches and muzzles, light wear along the barrels toning lightly brown when under bright light, and some scattered light handling marks. The case-hardened frame retains about 85% original case color, mellowed lightly with age, the forward half of the belly and edges of the fences toned to a silvery case-hardened patina, and scattered freckling greatest on the underside. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good plus condition with a few scattered light dings and handling marks, and the buttstock shows some light crazing and beading of the finish. The grooved hard rubber buttplate is intact, providing a 14'' length of pull with drops of about 1 3/4'' and 2 7/8'', and the forend features the short-lived Third Type ''Curtis'' forend latch. The factory markings are intact and crisp, and the forend and barrels are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up tight with the right barrel a hair off-face, a bare sliver of light visible between the breech and standing breech, with the lever coming to rest right of center and features dual triggers, an automatic safety, extractor, and is sighted with a lone brass bead. A well preserved Field Grade L.C. Smith that will fit well in a collection. (14B11739-86) {C&R} (800/1200)
