My dad has been very sick and last week he sent me home with some of the family guns one of which was my grandfathers L.C.Smith did a serial check came back as 1916 vintage . The gun is clean and the inner bore shines like a mirror .The gun is probably an 8 1/2 to 9 on a 10 scale .Just for insurance reasons could someone give me a ball park value .I have already mentioned to both of my boys to come and decide which of the guns in our family collection they want to be passed on to them
