Gentlemen :
I am seeking information regarding the orginal factory applied wood finish that was used for L.C. Smith Field Grade SxS shotguns that were manufactured during the early 1900 period time fram. Specifically, was the wood stained, and if so, what was the tint? As to the final finish, what would that have consisted of, perhaps hand rubbed linseed oil, perhaps some other top coat.
I am wanting to replecate as near as possible the original specification. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
