Default It's Not a Parker, But....

I was visiting a local gunshop this past weekend and was looking at a beat up P-grade. The clerk asked if I liked parkers and I said "yes." He said let me show you this LC Smith. He went to the back of the shop in a little locked cabinent and pulled out a 3E Live Bird gun, no safety, HOT, and 32" barrels. It also has sling swivels. It's a strange combination on a gun like this. but just odd enough to be factory. I need to post these at the LCSCA site, but I have not figured out how to do it. I'm not a good photographer and I'll try to get better ones. I could not leave there. I love any gun with this configuration. It's circa 1907, and it does not appear to have been messed with. It had a lot of "gunshop" dust and crud and it cleaned up nicely. It balances wonderfully, and no cracks in the wood.

Bore diameter is dead nuts on .729 with 20 points in the right and 35 points in the left. Twin ivory beads and a relatively high rib that's finely filed. I need to replace a firing pin bushing, and that does not appear to be too difficult.
