One of my neighbors is cleaning out her home prior to an extensive renovation. The home has been owned by her family for close to 100 years. In one closet she found some o!d firearms. She called me to have a look. Three of them are interesting...a model 1842 Springfield musket, a Trapdoor Springfield rifle and a Field grade L.C. Smith SXS (ser. #48113). Very tight gun. Bright bores. No dings in either barrel. 30 inch barrels. Barrel finish worn, little bluing remains.
It is this shotgun that I am writing about. Provenance? History? Value range,? Any info would be helpful.
