All matching numbers. In 1969, Marlin re-introduced the L. C. Smith field grade side by side shotgun. It was only offered in 12 gauge with 28" barrels, full vent rib, case color side locks, double triggers, choked modified and full with 2 3/4" chambers. The pistol grip walnut stock with cap featured hand checkering, a black plastic butt plate and matching splinter forearm. The barrels are engraved L.C.SMITH 12 GA. and have manual extractors with two bead sights. Base of frames is stamped Marlin Firearms Co New Haven Conn. They were only produced through 1971 and production was rather dismal. CONDITION: Excellent. The bright finish blue barrels show some minor handling marks. Case colors bright as new. Stocks are excellent with a few minor impressions. Lock up and bores are sharp. This gun has seen very little if any use.
