Serial Number: FWS43053
There is no shortage of L.C. Smith Field Grade 16ga. guns.  They made 38,678 of them.  HOWEVER,   HOW MANY DO YOU THINK REMAIN IN UNFIRED,  NEW CONDITION?  Likely not a hundred or so.  This L.C. Smith Field 16ga. snFW43053 made in 1949, is crisp and new, with only a few minor handling marks from storage and assembling.  There are no, none, zero primer marks on the standing breech around the firing pin holes, indicating an unfired gun.  There is no wear to the wood, trigger guard (tang has some peppering of finish failure as shown in the photos), receiver or barrels.  The finishes are all definitively factory original, not restored.  The case color is brilliant, and that only happens when it is kept in the dark.  Look at the photos…THIS IS NOT A RESTORED GUN!  The 28” M/F barrels are tight as new on hinge pin and breech face, the top lever way to the right of center.  The bores are perfect, the mechanics are excellent, and there are no cracks in the wood.  An amazing find, with good shooting dimensions, and offered at a price that is affordable to most.  Thanks for looking and don’t miss this great opportunity to own a rare L.C. Smith Field Grade gun in new condition.  See specifications below.  Thanks for looking!
