Looks to be an early Syracuse L.C. Smith. Be nice to see the finished results.
Could you give me the rest of the details as to gauge, barrel length for the records.
Thanks.

JDW - I will try to get the details when I visit him next. I think the gun belongs to an American customer and is a 10 gauge if I remember correctly.
Nick makes his living as a gunsmith so the amount of work he puts in depends on the $$ the customer is comfortable spending.

My thoughts exactly, Steven. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.
