I am trying to identify an LC Smith shotgun that I believe was my great grandfather's and am wondering if I think it is a pre-1913 "00" grade. The barrels are not Damascus, and there are no engravings on the side plate. Other details include:
- "L.C. SMITH" stamped on both side plates
- "HUNTER ARMS CO
FULTON, NEW YORK"
stamped not on the top of one of the barrels, but on the flat sighting metal between the barrels.
- When I break the gun, I find the following serial number in the following fashion
6321 E
00
- I am not sure of the gun gage, but believe it is either a 16 or 20.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Thank you
