Default L C Smiths

Fresh off the hill country farm for your morning pleasure are these two; one a Crown grade, the other an Eagle grade.

Great guns! Excellent pics! I find it interesting that these Smiths look like Lefevers of a similar vintage. I know little about Smiths. Are they true sidelocks? When were these guns made?

Thank you for posting the pictures. Beautiful guns.

Just my humble opinion but there were few guns built on this side of the pond with finer engraving than Grade 5 LC Smiths. (A beautifully restored Grade 5 is at the top of my Christmas list. Hint, hint Santa Brad)
