L. C. Smith
Guy who used to work on my guns called last week, and said he had a Smith for me to look at. Did not have the heart to tell him I had moved on from them, so I went to look at it.
It had beautiful 26" I.C. and Mod barrels, a nice high flat rib, and was light as a feather. The stock was cracked in every direction it could have been cracked. Behind the tang. Behind the locks both sides. Through the checkering. And a big chip below the frame and in front of the trigger guard had been glued back on. And the gun had been cared for as one could see no abuse. He asked for my opinion of price. I said $500 for the barrels and parts. It was a shame something so well cared for had met such of a fate.
