Need help/advice on LC Smith 12 ga

[vmax]

My FIL gave this to me 10 years ago
He got it at a gun show in AZ in the 90s

I don't know alot about any shotguns especially older ones

I had an expert look it over when I 1st got it and he said the gun was in good condition and I could even shoot it..just use steel shot.

He said the stock wasn't correct to the gun and that detracted from the value
He said I could remove the finish with some steel wool and oil finish it to give it better appearance

I'm wanting to sell it..but 1st I need to know what I have and what to expect.

Any advice would be appreciated.
The SN is visible in the one picture in case any of you can look it up

Then I say we need a fourth one to balance it out. 3 just seems lopsided.

Which thread are you keeping, lol?

Check with "Blue Book of Guns".

I have a 1911 L.C. Smith "Monogram" in 20 ga.
Blue book told me the 20ga is worth double what the same in 12ga is.
Only 51 were made .

I personally would not use steel shot in that shotgun...

Shoot it? Yes, I would with lead shot...

Does it have interchangeable chokes?
