JR,
It says L.C. Smith on the gun, Marlin Contracted Zabala in Spain to make/supply a modern L.C. Smith double gun, not a reproduction. Marlin had the rights/ownership to L.C. Smith, and now Remington has purchased Marlin giving them ownership of L.C. Smith.
It is legally an L.C. Smith Zabala made gun for Marlin. I put the gun in my L.C. Smith Collection with all the Originals, granted the gun is not a Side lock with the Brown Rotary Bolt, it's a Box lock with side plates, and is a far cry from the original Hunter Arms L.C. Smith Engineering.
Further the 26" Barrels are not whippy and I shoot Doves, Woodcock & Grouse just fine with mine. The .410 is almost exactly the same gun.
skeettx,
Mike the Grouse in the prior picture with the L.C. Smith 28, was shot over Penny's point with that exact gun, the .410 comes on the same frame. I have had absolutely no problem hunting with mine what so ever.
