I'm not an L.C. Smith fan, but that certainly looks like a real honest gun.

The lower tang has been shortened no serial number shown. Makes you wonder about the stock.

Kudos to Lock, Stock and Barrel (the seller) for disclosing the tang and stock issue after it was pointed out to them, and for such good pictures.
