    Pre - 1913 20 ga. Pictures Archived Message

    Posted by Jack B. on February 27, 2008, 11:20 am

    Bob Trefry called me in late January to welcome me as a new member to LCSCA. We got around to talking about guns and I told him I had a 20 ga. 4-E. He suggested I might want to post some pictures since there are not many of these guns around. My new L.C. Smith book "The Legend Lives" arrived just in time for Christmas and on page 165 it shows that only 15 grade 4's were produced. Dr. Drew was kind enough to give me this information before my book arrived. Since there were only 15 produced I wonder if Jim Stubbendieck might know how many of the 15 were 4-E's ? How many had 26,28,30 and possibly 32 inch barrels? The Cody letter I got only said the gun was a 20ga. 4-E with 26 inch barrels and was built in 1910. The guns specs. are: 20ga. 4-E, with 26 in. barrels(nitro steel) imp.cyl.& mod., double triggers(checkered), straight stock , with a weight of 5 pound and 8 oz.(nice to carry). I would like to thank David W for helpin me post my first pictures.
