Thanks Steve and Jim for responding back. I will be mailing out form to get research letter today. One of the things I like about the gun it has a hunting dog engraved on side and quail engraved on the other. One more question next to the LC Smith SBT was a Parker SBT made in 1917, I bought the Parker too just to compare the two. So is it a sin being a LC Smith collector to buy the Parker?
