L.C. Smith "Pigeon Gun" Chain Damascus 12ga
Description: *** SOLD *** SOLD *** Thank you all that made an offer! "Collector grade" and rare 1903 (serial # 8369) Hunter Arms Company L.C. Smith "Pigeon Gun" 12 gauge with just knockout "chain damascus" 30" barrels, choked full & full, three position safety and beautiful engraving and wood, remaining in "just about mint" condition. As stated in the factory letter, Mr. William C. McKnight inspected this Pigeon Gun, as he did most of the higher grade L.C. Smith shotguns in the early 1900s, and it shipped on May 9, 1903. Production began in 1893 and Pigeon Guns were manufactured until 1913. Some of the Pigeon Guns were fitted with damascus steel barrels at an additional cost. Also, this is the only L.C. Smith shotgun that was referred to as "Gun" rather than "Grade" by the Hunter Arms Company. The top of the barrel rib is hand engraved HUNTER ARMS CO., MAKERS, FULTON, NY with a pigeon engraved on the top rib extension. Look at the many pictures and I think you will agree that this rare SxS is in extraordinary shape for it's age. It has a LOP of 14 1/4", a DAH of 2 1/2", it weighs in at 8 lb 5 oz and the ejectors throw snap caps with authority. It has .729 shiny bores and it has constrictions of .042 in both barrels, with double Ivory beads on top. If you have been searching for a Smith high grade shotgun worthy enough to be at the top of your collection, well, I think you have just found it. Don't pass this beauty up! Call or e-mail to make this gorgeous shotgun yours. The factory letter shown will not be included in this sale, but the new owner would be able to order a new letter with it addressed to him. $120 S&H to most of the lower 48. $140 S&H to the eight far west states. A check for payment will take 3 or 4 days to clear. No warranty stated or implied by the seller. Consignment gun-no return. Layaway is available!
