I have an LC 10 ga hammer gun, serial # 11420. Damascus barrels. I can't seem to find any info on it. The serial # doesn't seem to be listed anywhere. I might be willing to sell it for the right price, if anybody is interested too.

Jason,

Welcome, did you check the serial number list under the "Other Useful Information" link at bottom of this page?

If yo do a little Googleing, you should be able to find the LC Smith collectors webstie as well.

Best,
Mark

When Identifying LC Smith guns, the first thing you do is check the address atop the barrels; with that serial number it most likely says "Syracuse, NY". If so, there are no existing serial number records for that period; therefore you won't find a ship/manufacture date, but we speculate the gun was likely produced sometime around 1885-86. This is the most likely senario, as we have no hammer gun serial number records below #277XX for Smith guns with a Fulton, NY address; and 10-bore hammer guns were not being produced when the sequential serial number sequence began in 1918-19. As to value, unless your hammer gun is higher than a Grade 3; or otherwise, unless it remains in near new factory original condition, it will command very little collector interest (which is the primary determinant of gun value, but then the sky is the limit for the nimrod who hasn't done his homework and has a lot of accumulated cents).
