FYI: Marlin made the LC Smith 3 different times:
-late 1940’s Marlin bought the LC Smith Fulton, NY factory & assembled existing parts until the building collapsed into the old canal bed.
-1968 Marlin tried reviving the LC Smith using the original specs. Sales did not meet expectations.
-2005 Marlin used the “LC Smith” in name only to make a much cheaper designed SxS & O/U. Again, production did not last very long.
