Your are very fortunate to have the Glahn's name on it. SC means scribed (signed).
The Spangler brothers first worked for L.C. in Syracuse and later went to Fulton when Syracuse was sold. Glahn and his 3 sons also went to Fulton. Not much info on how long the Spangler Bros. stayed on. In his obituary, Joseph Glahn went to Fulton in 1893 as head engraver and died in 1902.
Here is the conundrum, your gun according to the Year of Manufacture states 1891. Who is right? Researching is fun until things like this happen.
Also does your A2 have the stepped lock plates? That is the first style and there were 4 different styles. In my opinion the first style A2 was the nicest of any of the Fulton L.C. Smith's.
