Don't feel badly Jim. After all, though there may be 5 or 6 billion people on this planet; no more than 30 of those billions of individuals will ever have the opportunity to own a Deluxe Smith simultaneously. But interestingly, Smith collector Cliff White did at one time during his collecting career, own 13 (or maybe 15?) of the original LC Smith Deluxe guns at the same time. No single individual has ever accomplished a similar milestone to my knowledge? Cliff has also owned the "Deluxe Field" Smith gun; not officially considered an original Deluxe Grade but it certainly has the look (Kraus and several other employees created a Deluxe gun from a Field Grade Smith as a tribute to the Smith gun legacy when they learned that Marlin would be permanently closing the gun works).
