Somewhere I red that a collection consists of 3 or more similar items. To complement my collection of Parkers 10 gauges I added a trio of LC Smiths:
Included is the LC Smith Grade 2 with Chain Damascus Barrels which I gave it's own thread in the Damsacus section.
Also, there is the Grade 2 with Crown (fluid) Steel Barrels.
Finally, there is the oldest known surviving LC Smith Syracuse made Quality 2 gun. This one is a 10 gauge. This LC "Quality" gun was made during 1886 or 1887 in Syracuse NY prior to LC Smith being acquired by Hunter Arms Company and production transitioned to Fulton NY.
- The Chain Damascus 10 was recently restored by Brad Bachelder.
- The Crown Steel was restored by an unknown to me master.
- The Quality 2 may visit Brad Bachelder sometime in the future...
