serial #FW172074, 20 ga (2 3/4''), 28'' armor steel barrels choked improved modified and full with bright excellent bores. The barrels of this attractive gun retain about 80% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light showing some scattered light freckling and the blue taking on a pleasant deep gray-brown patina under bright light. The action and lockplates retain about 85% nice original case-hardened colors that remain mostly vibrant throughout with a little bit of mild oxidation speckling and some areas toning to a nice smoky gray case-hardened patina. The triggers, triggerguard and safety retain about 90% original bright blue showing just mild wear. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition retaining about 90% original varnish showing some scattered light dings and a tiny hairline crack forming behind the right lockplate that is unobtrusive. The checkering remains mostly strong and the original hard rubber pistolgrip cap and grooved buttplate are intact and in excellent condition. Length-of-pull is 14'' with drops of 1 5/8'' and 2 5/8'' and the gun is equipped with automatic safety, double triggers, extractors and medium brass bead front sight. Weight is 6 lbs. 3 oz. and the barrels lock-up solid on-face with top lever right-of-center and the action seems to function well mechanically. This is a fine L.C. Smith in the always sought-after 20 ga. (13B11778-10) {C&R} (1200/1800)
