I inherited an L.C. Smith 12 gage side by side with 30-inch barrels from my father. I was told my Great Grand Father had it specially made for his son (my Grand Father). I took it to a local gun smith, who suggested I write to you. It’s stamped: “PAT D MAR 29, 83; JULY 13, 86; OCT.5, 86” with the serial number is “3206”. Under the barrel in the middle strip it’s stamped “5 E”, “3206” and stamped NITRO trademarks on each barrel. On top between the barrels it stamped: MADE TO ORDER BY THE HUNTER ARMS CO, FULTON N.Y. It has two hunting dogs on both sides with a lot of engraving throughout the gun. It has been kept in its original leather case since my father took my brother and I pheasant hunting back in the mid-1960s, we all shot it. It's in great shape and I would like to know more. Like what year was it made? What does the “5 E” mean? Is it in your records?
