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. |

1897
 1898  1902. Could that be a Parker Recessed Hinge Pin?  1904  DuPont purchased Laflin & Rand in 1902, and American “E.C.” & “Schultze” Powder Company in 1903. In 1912 under the Sherman Antitrust Act, Laflin & Rand was dissolved and DuPont was split into DuPont Powder Co. (later DuPont American Industries), Hercules Powder Co. (which retained “Infallible”, “E.C.” and “Schultze”) and Atlas Powder Co. L&R “Orange Extra” black powder was still offered in the 1927 “Hercules Sporting Powders” booklet.
