Thanks Ken, and you are certainly correct in that there are a number of odd and special Smith guns still awaiting discovery. Some are one-off guns, but we also know that some examples such as the "R" framed 20-bores and the "C" framed guns were made in multiple copies, yet none have surfaced to my knowledge. Discovering, and attempting to locate these oddities have always served to make the collecting of Smith guns very interesting to me personally; and are the driving forces that keep this hobby exciting.
