L.C. Smith hammer 10ga grade F
I came across an Elsie F Grade Hammer 10ga, 100% original, fading dam pattern on 32" barrels, 2 7/8", no case except protected areas. Six digit serno starting 170xxx, built 1912. Wood solid and free of cracks and repairs, checkering worn but good. Stout barrels, .140 ahead of chambers, .035 8 inches before muzzle, full and full. Butt plate is worn, fading scene with no cracks or chips. Barrels ring, action tight as a drum. Hammers work as they should. Short LOP, 13.5" to butt plate from front trigger, do not believe it was cut. 9 lbs even on the scale. 1 7/8" by 2 7/8" drop. I have no idea how common or value, any knowledge from the collective is appreciated.
