Here are photos, I hope. Can anyone help provide a little information and guidance on this shotgun? This is a Winchester model 42 .410. It has been engraved and inlaid. There is gold mostly, and one platinum area. The initials L C are on the left side of the receiver and a pigeon is stamped on the under side of the magazine. From what I've been able to learn, the engraving was most likely done by the L C Smith company, however this only from a web search. L C seems to refer to this company in most cases. I have also found out that some of the engavers for this company were fairly well known, but how would you find out who exactly did the engraving?
Is this engraving considered factory engraving? Is there any possibility L C is an engraver or is L C Smith company definitely what L C stands for? What grade of engraving is this? I.e. Pigeon, Deluxe or whatever?
Any help would be appreciated. If these photos don't work, I'l try again.
