Highly engraved L.C. Smith 00 grade #401310 04/18/15 08:04 PM

OP kdross Sidelock Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 117 New Jersey	A friend of mine has a L.C. Smith 12 gauge. The serial number is 124XXX which puts production in 1905, and it has 00 under the serial number. It has 28" barrels and an English straight stock. However, the gun is highly engraved to the point it looks nicer than a grade 5 gun. Does anyone know why a 00 grade LC Smith would be so well engraved?

Although that style may appeal to some, it doesn't appeal to me personally; and certainly wouldn't command any premium amongst Smith collectors. But if your friend is happy with this piece, I suppose that is all that really matters.

Here are some nicer examples http://www.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3489 http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=382843 https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
