That’s cool. Where did you find them?

These guns were in a shop in Central Florida - well stocked shop but their customer base has no interest in vintage doubles so we were able to get a really good deal on them....

Checkering on the LC Smith looks good....

nice guns to be proud of....charlie

What grade is the LC? The checkering is too deep for a post-1913 field grade, and the zig zag border around the lockplate is not something Ive seen before. The ebony inlay in the forend tip is also not a field grade. Maybe a 1 grade from pre-1913? Nice gun, anyway.

If no engraving other than the border a pre-13 Grade O.

Not sure about the grade... the serial is 337643. I did look at others on Guns Intl and cant find one that matches this border pattern.... seems to be a pretty good gun.
