The "new" Marlin L.C. Smiths in 12 and 20 gauge were made by Fausti in Italy and the 28 and .410 guns were made by Zabala in Spain.
Not sure about the 12 and 20, but the 28 and ,410 have a selective trigger.

I bought a NIB .410 about three months ago. Gave $995 for it. It is a very nice, well made gun. I am very pleased as is a friend who also bought a 28 gauge about the same time.
IMO the Zabala guns are better built than the Fausti guns.
