Norm:
I have taken a number of photos of the L.C. Smith 12 Ga. SxS which is the subject of this thread. In addition, I invited a knowledgable Elsie collector to view the gun and asked him to render his opinion as to its frame, which is marked with a letter "R".
Apparently, notwithstanding features which would be present on a Featherweight gun, this particuler gun is not a Featherweight, but rather a "transional" gun that has a regular frame. It seems that the person who inspected the gun today believes that some parts which are purely from a Regular frame were put together with parts from a Featherweight.
I attempted to post some of these images today, but could not determine the proper process to follow in order to down-load the file from my hard drive.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
