This gun was manufactured in 1937 as one of only 2,375 Field Grades built as a .410 bore out of 195,205 total Field Grade guns according to page 177 of William Brophy's "L. C. Smith Shotguns". The gun was 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, and chambers measured 3 inches with a single extractor. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened action which is unadorned aside from "L. C. SMITH" which is marked on either lockplate and features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is mounted with a lightly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend and pistol grip stock with a black polymer grip cap and buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .409/.410 inches; choke constriction .016/.029 inches; 1 5/16 inch drop at comb; 2 7/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 13 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retaining 96% original blue on the barrel with a small isolated patch of cold blue over pitting on the left barrel with 95% original case colors, a few freckles on the barrels, and minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine with a few light scratches and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
