Notes:
The L.C. Smith 12-gauge side-by-side shotgun is a classic American double-barrel shotgun originally manufactured by the Hunter Arms Company of Fulton, New York. L.C. Smith shotguns are particularly notable for their hammerless sidelock design, double barrels, traditional walnut stocks, and distinctive side lock plates. Production continued under Hunter Arms until 1945, when Marlin Firearms acquired the line; original production largely ended in 1950, with limited later revivals.
