L.C. Smith Crown
 

L.C. Smith Crown circa 1920 12ga 30", Many special order features including duck engraving, very fine borderless checkering, checkered triggers, checkered safety, 3 position safety, and extractors. No single trigger which you find on most high grade Elsies.

Did the Research Letter give any hints as to why the purchaser would commission the ducks?

For those unfamiliar; the usual Crown engraving

Drew the LCS research letters only indicate grade, inspector and ship date, not worth bothering with in my opinion.

I'm a Smith detractor, but I'll admit to that one's charm!! Will it fill the void until you find Ansley H. Fox 31736?

That’s a jewel!

Really nice gun Craig. I don't ever recall seeing a double trigger Crown previously. Not that I am an authority by any means but I've seen a few Crowns. It has to be one of a very few I would think. Congrats on that one.:bowdown:

I love the dogs on mine, but those ducks are sweet. I have never seen one like that.

That's a beauty!
