Big Boys Guns! - LC Smith Display Theme for the Southern Side by Side

Posted by Stephen Sipprell on April 13, 2026, 10:49 pm

With the Southern Side by Side less than 2 weeks away, I need to start making display cards for the LC Smith Display Guns.

The theme for the LC Smith display at the Southern this year will be "Big Boy Guns".

Let's get all the 8 gauge guns and 10 gauge guns out on display. I know we have several members with some heavy artillery to showcase!

So if you have an 8 gauge or 10 gauge gun that you would like to bring and display, please email me at StephenSipprell@Eaton.com with the information listed below, and I will make a formal display card for your gun:

Maker: L.C. Smith
Grade: No.3
Gauge: 8
Barrels: 32” Chain Damascus
Mechanism: Extractor
Triggers: Double
Serial Number: 42701
Finished: March 1897
Notes: 1 of 3 made. Only one known extant. 12lbs-14.7oz.
Display: Stephen Sipprell

(Example entries shown for reference)

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Southern!

Best,
Stephen

Folks,

We have 33 Big Boy guns committed to be displayed at the Southern next weekend:

As of today we have:
•8-ga guns: 9 guns
•10-ga guns: 24 guns

Are there any others out there who will be bringing a Big Boy gun to display who has not contacted me for a display card? Please send me an email (StephenSipprell@Eaton.com) ASAP if you plan on bringing an 8-ga or a 10ga to display.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and these guns at the Southern!

Thank you!

Stephen
