I have them all!
LC Smith made the most vintage guns although a high percentage of those were 0 Grade or after 1912 the Field Grade. Buy a Smith because you love it as I do a few of mine. They are a sidelock gun and while not exactly like their English cousins, many do handle well. Don't believe me, just ask any of our Parker Team shooters as they face off against the squad of LC Smith shooters! Lefevers changed a lot during production. If you don't believe me ask Brad Bachelder of any competent doublegun smith. Different ejector systems, different top lever systems, and so on. What year was that Lefever made? Well then it should be either this or that... But hey, I love the half dozen Lefevers that I own because each is unique in its own way! Then there are the AH Fox guns. Ansley Herman Fox was a famous pigeon and later trap shooter. He designed his guns as if he were to use each and every one in the pigeon ring! I love my Fox guns from the 20 gauge Sterlingworth to the big HE Super Foxes! Then there are those fine English guns... Somebody please stop me! Happiness is a fine dog at my side and a fine double in my hands! Mark

I have some of each as well. Smith and Lefever would tie for first just because both can be had in the 10 gauge and dare I say it the 8 gauge . Now with that being said I have several nice old Fox guns that I like especially my 1930 A Grade 16 gauge .
