Manufactured in 1930. According to the table on page 177 of "L. C. Smith Shotguns" by William Brophy, this gun is one of only 33 Specialty Grades manufactured in a .410 bore chambering. Single steel bead on the matted solid rib, standard markings on the water table, and chambers measured at 3 inches with ejectors. The right and left barrels are marked "L.C. SMITH SPECIALTY GRADE" and "HUNTER ARMS CO INC M'F'R'S FULTON, NY, USA" respectively. The receiver and lock plates are casehardened and feature standard Specialty Grade engraving of flowing broad scrolls surrounding a pair of quail in a field on the left, a duck in flight over a pond on the right, and L. C. Smith maker's marks on both locks. The underside shows the same style of scroll as do the trigger guard and release lever. Tang mounted automatic safety switch and single selective trigger with the trigger plate marked "HUNTER/ONE/TRIGGER". Lightly figured, multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm with rotary latch, engraved fittings, and contrasting rosewood tip paired with the pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and serrated buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): choke constriction .020/.022 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 13 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs 14 oz.

Very fine, retaining 98% original blue on the barrels, 60% blue on the trigger guard, and 75% original case colors on the locks and receiver with mainly the underside showing silver patina. Some minor spotting on the underside of the receiver and light handling/use evidence overall. The wood is also very fine with scattered light dings and scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A hard to improve upon example of a rare and desirable L. C. Smith.
