In my opinion, the best source of information on LC Smith guns is the LC Smith Collectors Association. The LCSCA has copies of all the records from Cody, and has put them into a digitized format. In addition, Dr. Jim Stubbendiek, the holder of the LCSCA records, is a very knowledgeable LC Smith collector who knows the LC Smith guns. Jim has spent countless hours with the LC Smith records while digitizing them and correcting errors that have been published in older references. While I assume that the Cody employees are helpful and willing to assist, I doubt that any one of them has the expertise that Jim now has with the LC Smith records.
