I only had one dealing with Herschel ,I always liked the LC Smith guns and in our neck of the woods when I was younger you very seldom ran into any one carrying a Parker Shotgun but there seemed a good supply of Smiths ! I had about a dozen or so and I had been admiring a OO Framed Straight grip 28 Gauge VHE that had a set of Briley 410 tubes with it that Steve Barnett had for sale , Steve wasn't much interested in trading any of the Smiths so just for curiousity sake I called Chadick's and happened to get Herschel on the phone. I ask him if he would be interested in purchasing all the Smith guns and we went over what I had and he said sure ,he would send me boxes and shipping labels and I should pack them up ,send them to Texas and he would give me a price for the lot of them , we had discussed a Ball Park Figure and shortly after he recieved the guns ,I got a call and the offer exceeded the Ball Park by a couple of Grand ! I recieved the check a few days later cashed it added a little to the Chadick money and contacted Steve about the 28 Gauge , I told him I would like to purchase the gun and would like a three day inspection ,Steve said I'll do better than that ,I'll ship you the gun and you hunt with it a couple of weeks and if you like it ,send me a check and if you don't just send it back !!! I couldn't believe that, I had never done business with him but he knew he had a fish on the line and he also knew he had me once I had it in my hand !!! Two Great Guys to do business with !!!!
