David, I have been told it is one of three (Field grades), by an L C Smith collectors association member, but I have no way of knowing if that is accurate. All I know is that it is the only one I have ever seen, but that is a very small "sample".

Susie and I hit it off really quickly. There was another 32", a graded Smith 16 ga. on the table that day, but it was priced way out of my reach. When I saw that Susie's date of completion was the same as my birthday I groaned aloud. James, the owner, asked what was wrong. When I told him he said with a grin "Do you know an omen when you see one?" ......... I did.

She went with me to the cottage at Rick's that evening, and I fell asleep with her beside me in bed. We "bonded". blush
