L C Smith Ideal Grade
My friend Dorothy has recently got ahold of her grandfather’s or great-grandfather’s 12/28” LC Smith Ideal Grade (ser. no. 346715 R) that appears to be in very nice original condition. Case color is about fully there but certainly not as vibrant as when it was made. I’m not as well versed on Elsies as I am on Parkers and I know I can order a letter from the LCSCA but I thought a lot of you are very astute on these guns and she’s curious as to an insurance value?
She also has a Belgian Browning Light Twelve…
