Smith 12 GA Field Grade SXS Shotgun c.1949 Offered here for sale and just acquired from a very prestigious 6 decades arms collection is this beautiful L.C. Smith Field Grade 12 Gauge Side-by-Side shotgun. A true “Field Grade” this specimen was manufactured by Marlin Arms for L.C. Smith. This gun is marked “Field” and has a relatively low serial number (55640FWS), indicationing it was almost certainly made very early in the Field Grade production run by Marlin. Marlin bought L.C. Smith and produced them from 1945-1949 when the floor collapsed at the Fulton NY location then again produced them with FWM prefix 1968-1971  Marlin made them to the same standards as  L.C.. Smith. The FWS serial numbers were made in Fulton NY. The FWM in North Haven Conn.   LC Smith serial 55640 FWS was made in about 1949 by MARLIN ( FWS was their designated manufacturer ID ). Marlin made LC Smith from 1945-1949. Then again in 1968-1970 with a FWM prefix. A few particulars about this specimen: 12 gauge 28" barrels Solid rib Double triggers Full / Improved Cylinder Field Grade Near mint condition Condition of this specimen is paramount. It appears to be virtually unused with just some slight “rings” within the chambers. The original case colors still sharp and vibrant.  Original bluing is 100%. Sharp screws, tight matching serials on barrels and frame. Wood unmarred. Just a few light scratches left rear barrel in front of chamber. On the underside of receiver there are a couple of very light and tiny dents which “when amplified” appear perhaps to be manufacturing blemishes before case hardening. In normal light barely noticeable. A solid-rib early Field Grade in exceptional untouched condition which should have a special appeal to dedicated L.C. Smith collectors.
