12boreman, I just now realized what you wrote having a "C" grade. If I could ask you to send me the serial number, barrel length and gauge. I collect serial numbers and what ever information I can on Syracuse L.C. Smith's. Also if you could send me some close-up pictures of the engravings I would appreciate that. In my records I only have two C grades. The highest grade was AA, B, C, D, E, and F. Only one AA has been seen.
Also I would not have this gun sent to have a set of tubes made for it. If this gun is in good condition you could buy another few guns for what this is worth.

Bluestem, If the gun were post 1912 they were American walnut maybe some with Claro walnut on the highest grades which was an option.. Like I stated I have never seen a Syracuse L.C. Smith with a crack behind the locks and I have seen many hundreds.
