Manufactured in 1942 as one of only 2,375 Field Grades built as a .410 bore according to page 177 of William Brophy's "L. C. Smith Shotguns". The gun was built with blued Armor Steel barrels featuring dual brass bead sights 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 3 inches with automatic ejectors, and choke constrictions of .012/.023 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 plainly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend and pistol grip stock with a black polymer grip cap and buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 9/16 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 4 oz.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and casehardened finishes with some fading at the edges of the action, minor handling evidence, some tiny freckles of spotting on the underside of the action and forend shoe, a few marks in the wood, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
