Sam, for what it is worth I had a deceased friend who owned a Monogram grade L.C.Smith which had nearly identical specs to your CHE, 12 ga. single trigger, swamped rib, 30' brls., apparent choke in both brls., and the short fore end. Several of us didn't feel that was made by L.C. due to the checkering mismatch, inletting, difference in wood color, and difference in grain.
