yes in Canada
32" barrels not honed and pit free
all original

from the information on the LC Smith site only 444 were made in 10 ga

No. 2 (1890-1914)
No. 2 GradeThe No. 2 grade was nicely finished and engraved. This is interesting because it was advertised as a "knockabout" grade and was said to be "just the kind for rough usage." It usually had ducks engraved in a circle on the right lock plate and a quail in a circle on the left. Some variations have been noted. On at least two 8 gauge guns, a woodcock was engraved in place of the ducks. It is unlikely that many hunters sought either woodcock or quail with an 8 gauge. Records indicate that 38 8 gauge, 444 10 gauge, 10,815 12 gauge, 793 16 gauge, and 393 20 gauge guns were built. Barrels were available in Chain Damascus (8, 10, 12, and 16 gauges) and later in Crown Steel (12, 16, and 20 gauges). Twenty gauge guns could be purchased after 1907. Advertised barrel lengths No. 2 Grade were 32, 30, and 28 inches. The barrel extension was stamped HUNTER ARMS CO., MAKERS, FULTON N.Y. in a single line. The stock could be ordered with a straight, full pistol grip, or half pistol grip and regular or Monte Carlo. A lightweight was available late in the production of No. 2 shotguns. These guns sold for $80 in 1892 and $70 in 1912. A total of 12,483 were made, and 5,541 of that total were fitted with automatic ejectors.

Jent is right, that is a nice No. 2 L.C. Smith. This is the first one that I have seen with a Damascus bottom rib. Most were steel. This one is non ejector and I believe made in 1902.
It looks like it was refinished by looking at the barrels.

I would estimate +/- $3000. All it takes is two people bidding.

Value/price might not be the same in Canada as in US. I won't venture an estimate, but that is a really nice pre-1913 two grade 10ga. Someone throw out a price if it were in US...Geo

There's been one trolling gunbroker at $3500 forever, but a very similar ( I.e. Nice ) one went for $850 on gunbroker about two years ago and it had Crown steel barrels. I kick myself hard for not bidding on it. If yours was mine I'd be real happy to get 1600 for it. I sold an even nicer grade 2 12 ga with nice chain Damascus for 1600. There were less 10 ga guns but less people want them now.

thought they would be worth a little more with only 444 #2's made in 10 ga

$850 Canadian would be $656.70. So U.S. $3000 would be $3883.05 Canadian.
I would look closer to $3500 Canadian.
