SWEET! Finding an old single shot and taking a Turkey with it has been on my bucket list for a couple years. Looking forward to seeing all the history.

Thanks to Shannon for this new site.
I was out in the early AM with a 1925 LC Smith Long Range. Kent 5-Star 5X5 in one barrel; Heavy Shot # 4s in the other.
This Elsie has a tougher than standard buttstock -with an original Jostam "No Kick Coming" period pad.
Great fun just carrying it in the deep swamp edges. It is a proven gobbler slayer.

For those of you with older American double guns, the following may help you-if you wish to dig deeper on Grades,
serial numbers, dates of manufacture, and more articles on your shotguns:
PGCA-Parker Gun Collectors Assn; AHFCA-AH Fox Collectors Assn; LC Smith Collectors Assn.
You may also view all of the Grades of shotgun made by the manufacturer, as well as nitro fluid steel, twist steel, and Damascus steel barrels.
You can view information on the site as a guest, or join the association. Both the PGCA and AHFCA have a serial number look-up capability. I am a member of both the PGCA and the AH Fox Collectors Association. Just typing in the Association name letters will get you there.
The members of these associations also have been known to be in the woods at sunrise with old double guns and turkey calls...and they have pictures
with older guns and older turkeys.

My old Ithaca. My grandfather bought it for my dad. Haven't killed a turkey with it in a long time. May get some 4s and take it out
