Manufactured in 1947. According to the table on page 177 of "L.C. Smith Shotguns" by Brophy, only 220 Ideal Grade shotguns were manufactured in .410 bore. Dual red bead sights, standard "L.C. SMITH Ideal Grade" marking, 3 inch chambers, automatic ejectors, and cylinder/modified chokes. Features light oak leaf engraving with zig-zag borders, light scroll, and punch dot backgrounds. Single selective Hunter One trigger, automatic thumb safety. The trigger guard is engraved and features the gold inlaid initials "R.W.C." Matching visible serial numbers. Checkered forearm and stock with a hard rubber grip cap, and serrated hard rubber buttplate. The stock dimensions are: drop at comb 1 5/8; drop at heel 2; length of pull 13 3/4.

Rating Definition:

Fine. 75% original blue finish remains on the barrels with scattered small dings, spotting, and moderate pin point pitting and flaking in the chamber areas. The receiver has 60% original subdued case colors with a mixture of gray and brown patina and mild spotting on the balance. The wood is fine as freshened with mildly worn checkering, scattered small indentations, and scratches on the buttstock. Mechanically very good.
