I own a grade 3 #1 framed hammer gun in 12 gage. My gun has a SSBP, drop points, and figured wood. The example your interested in lacks those features.

I just bought a L.C. Smith from Troy. He did answer my e-mails and my questions in the e-mails. Good guy and will contact him if I need anything from Puglisi in the future. Oh...The L.C. is a field grade .410 28" tight mod and x-full gun with great modern dimensions that fit my shooting needs. At 6lbs-5oz, not bad weight for a Smith gun. Its in great condition and will make a fine small bird and rabbit getter....(-: Troy also gave me a good price for the gun, under the listed number as they had it on G.I. for a while. Me HAPPY!!!

The fore end checkering is a Grade 3 pattern but extremely worn compared to the Grade 2 pattern Without drop points on the buttstock. That and the DHPB suggests the original buttstock May have been Replaced with one from a Grade 2. May still be a great shooter but probably not an original collector. FWIW.
