First off, let me say that I have been more of a handgun owner who has recently gotten some AR's. I've had a Remington 870 for home defense, but that's the extent of my shotgun knowledge.
I went to a Gun Show, here in Houston and I came across an LC Smith 12g with Damascus barrels. Again, I didn't know what I was really looking at, but I knew I liked it so I bought it.
The barrels are only 19" so it must have been modified. Doing some research online and comparing engraving design, stamps, and checking the serial number, I'd have to say this is a No. 3 with a manufacture date of 1899, according to the serial number search feature on this site.
I'll post some images and have ya'll take a look. Let me know if I'm right, wrong, or got scammed. [img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]
