Picture showing Hunter Arms L.C. Smith for-end and Syracuse L.C. Smith for-end.
The Syracuse for-end was also wider and had a snabel type tip.(note- incorrect spelling of the German word for "beak"- schnabel- Das ist Korrekt !! Der Fuchs--
Much finer checkering on the Syracuse guns.
Here is an ebony diamond on a very used Quality 4 Syracuse gun
This is a very early Fulton s/n 33724, still has the vase shaped ebony tip, but now has the dogs head ebony escutcheon. The barrel lug is now also rounded.
10 gauge Quality 2 s/n 20194 with the metal inlay.
