Scarce Hunter Arms Co./L. C. Smith .410 Bore Field Grade Double Barrel Shotgun

This gun was manufactured in 1928 as one of only 2,375 Field Grades built as a .410 bore out of 195,205 total according to page 177 of William Brophy's "L. C. Smith Shotguns". Built with blued Armor Steel barrels featuring a single brass bead sight on the matted solid rib, "L.C. SMITH Field GRADE" and "HUNTER ARMS CO. INC. M.F.R.S. FULTON. N.Y., U.S.A." marked on the right and left tubes respectively, chambers measured 2 1/2 inches with single extractor, and choke constrictions of .016/.025 inches. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened action which is unadorned aside from "L. C. SMITH" marked on either lockplate. The gun features double triggers and an automatic tang mounted safety. The gun is mounted with a lightly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend and pistol grip stock with a black hard rubber grip cap and buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 7/16 inch drop at heel; 13 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 9 oz. Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern Clergyman

ConditionVery fine overall, retaining 97% original blue, 85% original case colors with some silvering on the underside of the action, some minor spotting on the forend shoe, a few light dings and scratches on the stock, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
