Anyone have a LC smith long range?

LC Smith also made 3" guns that where stamped "wild fowl" on the bottom lug. During WW2 the army air corp ordered some of these 3" Smith guns for gunner training. There is a bomb stamped on these guns and when found will fetch a bit more $$$. I have owned several of these LC Smith guns in field and ideal grade. Sold them all and put the money on a 3 frame Parker GH 12ga with 32" barrels....... Way better gun :0)

one of the Smith Wildfowl model - with the ordinance marking also just sold on GB $550 (had some issues) but it was not marked as a 3"

It certainly is a buyers market right now.
