Hello,
Recently acquired an L C Smith hammer model in 12 Ga. It's in pretty neglected condition, but serviceable. It has one broken firing pin, the left hammer is not original, has a couple of small dents in the barrels which are otherwise in good shape. Bluing is almost completely gone.
Ser. No. cross-reference indicates it was made in 1896 or 97. "F" by ser. no. indicates "field grade"?
Anyone know if it's worth anything, or do I just have a nice wall hanger?
Recently found this forum. Looking foreward to learning a lot, and sharing what I can. Thanks in advance.
