Arent the known LC Smith 8 gauges all listed as being made in 1897-98 a one year time frame ? The one in question claims to be from 1901 .

Milton if you are going to start collecting the 8 ga guns I would suggest getting the most up to date books available as in James Stubendiecks book if you are looking for L C Smiths. If you are going after Parkers get the latest and greatest Parker books.

What would be some good Parkers books ? Are there any specifically about the larger frame Parkers ? Actually Ive been trying to find info on grade 1 hammerless guns out of curiosity . |

The Parker Story 2 volume set is the best reference you will find
i am not aware of any books concentrating on just big bores for any of the makers

A BigBore collector friend who passed about 5 years ago had 9 LC Smith8 bore guns and they have yet to hit the market. I’ll be one of the first to know when they tentatively do
