T under the S/N and yes the lock plate you displayed is the same as mine I called that one
undulating ground the other plate has flat ground
both with the two quail.
I have no idea how the guns got to Aus the only
thing I know is that a very elderly man sold two
LC Smith guns to a gun shop in NSW I had the pick
of the two and opted for the Trap grade the other
one looked to me to be an Ideal/field grade both
were the same price, I buy and sell guns regularly
and these are the only LC Smith guns I have seen
come up for sale over many years, some other info
you might be interested in is that the gun is a
12g twin trigger with extractors the stock is a
pistol grip with a Hawkins heart shape vent recoil
pad which in my opinion was factory fitted, I have
dismantled the whole gun and all S/N match including the lock plates, the gun is in exceptional condition inside and out (no rust or pitting) and the stock has no cracks or splits and retains its original finish, the action still has
about 75% of the color case hardening, as you can
tell I am more than pleased with my LC Smith gun,
Drew would you have any idea of what year the gun
would have been made.
cheers
Darryl
