I have the Pigeon grade LC Smith ordered by Laflin & Rand Powder Co. September 22nd 1895.
It features Crown Steel barrels. I believe it was ordered by Ed Taylor "The Old Reliable"
I have an article from the Sporting Life dated September 25th 1895 stating he was with L&R at the time, and was threatening to take up live Pigeon shooting again. "To put W.A. Smokeless in the proper light as a live bird destroyer."
I wish this gun could talk! I would post pictures....but it is an L.C. Smith.
