I ?? your math, Sir. $100.00 cheaper? If you could buy a field grade Smith sidelock with std. DT and extractors in 1927 for $45.00 retail, does that mean you could buy the cheaper Fulton series boxlock, also with DT and EXT for a negative $52.00 figure? Doesn't add up-- Now same scenario, I'd look to see the Fulton retailing at arond $21.00, and the "fancier" fulton special for maybe $23.50- just a guess, I only own and collect graded Smith guns, both pre-1913 and pre-1936 mfg. mainly ejector equipped-- The Fultons were good guns, so were the Parker Trojans, and the Ithaca LeFever brand Nitro Specials- You pays your money and you takes your choice--
