We see a lot of people with LC Smith guns and questions. One of my most anticipated events each year is the LC Smith Collector's Association display at the Ohio Gun Collectors Association ( show each July. I get the most enjoyment from shooting my classic shotguns whether hunting pheasant and rabbits or at the sporting clays course. Along the way, I've gathered a lot of respect for the history of all the side by side guns of the early to mid-1900s.
The guns have long since vanished from the family but the lore intrigued me. Indications are the shotguns were LC Smith. There were also a pair of shotguns in 12 gauge and 20 gauge with my Grandmother using the 20 gauge gun. Family lore indicates that both my grandparents were good shots competing locally at various shooting events including live pigeon shoots. I fell in love with LC Smith shotguns thanks to family lore. Names like LC Smith, Fox, Parker and many more are classics commonly called side by side or double guns. The period was a high point for American craftsmanship.
There are many shotguns from the period of late 19th and early 20th century that many consider the classics. Whatever your definition of classic, say the word around my house and you'll hear about classic shotguns. The car enthusiast may think of a split window Corvette. Fishermen may think of the Bass Master Classic, classic fly fishing rods or vintage reels. "Classic" - just say the word and a different image will pop into just about every person's mind.
