Can somebody give me a rough idea of the value of an L.C.Smith shotgun. Not sure of the grade but know it was a working gun from the Long Point area in Ontario. Suppose to be in excellent condition. Any idea would be appriecated.
 
The value of any collectable depends on condition and the rairity of the item. Any non-factory alteration will take off appox 1/3 of the value.

Too many variables to answer your question accurately.

Check the Ellwood Epps site, they usually have 1 or two on there,and " Supercub" gave you some sage advice also! Be aware that there is a big difference in price between Canada and the US when it comes to used doubles!!
 
Everything depends on Age, Grade & Condition, and whether or not there were any modifications to the original gun. Excellent condition to one means good or fair to another. With most Smiths ... like Parkers, Foxes & the like, the amount of original case colouring on the receiver and other parts means a lot in terms of value, as does the condition of blueing & the wood. An original, good condition hammerles, sidelock, fluid steel barrel ( as opposed to damascus) may go for as little as $ 500 to $ 600 for a common field grade with extractors. Auto ejectors and/or single trigger can add $ 500 apiece.
There is generally a considerable premium expected for gauges other than 12, with 16 gauge adding about a third, 20 gauge about 50 to as muchn as 75 percent and 410 three to four times the value of a 12. You really should get an appraisal by someone knowledgeable. ( who doesn't want to buy the gun themselves !!! )
