    Angelo, nice inheritance. In 1895 hammer gun serial number range was from 27,766 to 29,999.
    Also the D, I believe is the grade, nice. The Quality D Grade in 1884 went for $95.00, a nice bit of change then. It came with fine Damascus steel barrels, Good improved English walnut stock. Nicely checkered and engraved. Pistol grip and in 10 or 12 ga.
    In this particular time frame, all guns were referred to as Type 1.
    If it still has the original butt plate it should have a dog on point, the words L.C. Smith above that and below Syracuse, N.Y.
    Good luck with it and post some pictures.
