Dude, that gun may have some serious value.  http://www.gunsinternational.com/L-C-Smith-Shotguns.cfm?cat_id=714

L c Smith is what Kell thinks it said...prior to me googling that name.

If you pull that fore grip down while the barrel is closed it will pop off and there should be some numbers or writing under the barrel. If you open the barrel while the fore grip is off the barrel will come off two. What ever you do don't clean the patina off. Just wipe it with some gun oil. If you have to you can use some chalk to rub in the engraving to read it. Or use a pencil and paper and do a rubbing of the engraving. Good luck I hope this helps.   //popcorn//

Post high resolution pictures...zoom is better than normal eye sight.  As suggested by Mr Mike, the easiest way to ruin the value is an old firearm (or really any antiquity) is to 'clean' it.

I am seeing lc Smith. Also take it to a reputable shop. If they offer to buy it at all tell them no, because they are always low balling. Walk out of the store with the gun. Get a second opinion

well there is no stamp on the barel, that LC writing is faint, its on a metal part but not the barrel.   like i said, its my granddads, and it was old when he had it, he used it for bird hunting mostly, i would shoot pretty far , i stopped using it when i turned 16 and got a 12g pump.

i wish someone in the club was really good with these things, as much as i want to sell it, i would rather let it go to someone in the club that would give it the love and respect it needs, he also has a .306, im NOT selling that, its old too.   its what i use for deer hunting now. it has a scope, and im keeping it.

My son said it says LC Smith on the side, and when we opend it upwhere u expose the barrels, there is a number..   well a letter stamped above a number

F is the letter and the number is 149858

I think its really old.  confirmed its LC Smith.  F grade.   hopefully Wed the gun smith can give me a value. 

i was looking online.  these range from 1200 to over 4k  ?   now mine is in poor shape.  but it needs someone to love it.   i dont really hunt that much, went deer hunting a few years back with the .306 , i have a 9m and a darengar .38

thinking of selling the Ruger 9m i have 2 15 round clips with Black Talon bullets.  not sure the worth.  will post a new thread when i get some pictures.
