The latest serial number I have with L.C. Smith Maker on the barrels is 25470, does yours have L.C. Smith Maker Syracuse, N.Y. on the barrels?
The ones with no makers name on the barrels, still are L.C. Smith's but are transitional gun meaning when Lyman Cornelius sold the guns works to James Hunter Sr. in 1888 and guns that were not assembled where shipped to Fulton, N.Y. and assembled there with no makers name on barrels.
These were very well made guns and many of our members still shoot them after they are deemed to be safe and checked out by a reliable gunsmith that knows L.C. Smith's.
