Immerse yourself into the nostalgia of American history with this unique piece of firearm antiquity - the L.C. Smith Field Grade shotgun. Manufactured in 1935 by the renowned L.C. Smith company, an American company well known for their quality side-by-side and single-barrel shotguns since the late 1800s, this model is a 16-gauge caliber - a versatile choice used both in upland game hunting and sport shooting.
The shotgun presents in good condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling, yet it remains in great shape for its age. The bores are bright and clean, reflecting the excellent condition of the gun. With its tight lock up and two trigger/extractor only, this shotgun blends nostalgic charm with functional form. The color case hardened finish gives the firearm a distinct look and adds a layer of protection.
The Field Grade model, designed for utility and function over aesthetic appeal, retains the exemplary workmanship the company is famous for. The shotgun's beautiful wood stock with checkering, front brass bead sight, and splinter forend are all testaments to this quality craftsmanship. Its side-by-side action and 2-round capacity are characteristic of traditional double-barreled shotguns from this era.
Owning this Field Grade model manufactured by L.C. Smith is not just owning a firearm, it's an investment in a piece of American firearms history. With its color case hardened finish and Armor Steel, blued barrel, it's not only a collector's dream, but also ideal for recreational hunting, shooting sports, or simply appreciating the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
