Some info
No. 00 was the lowest grade of pre-1913 L.C. Smith shotguns. The catalog (1900) said: "A thoroughly reliable gun at a price within the reach of all. The new Armour Steel barrels are plain, but will stand the severest strain of nitro powder. English walnut stock; half pistol grip; checkered and well finished . . ." From 1898 to 1914, 57,096 were manufactured. This number nearly equals the total number of all of the other grades produced during this period. The No. 00 was available with Armour (catalog spelling) Steel barrels only. The lock plates were not engraved but were stamped "L.C. Smith". The top of the right barrel was marked: HUNTER ARMS CO.-MAKERS-FULTON, N.Y. Initially, it was available in 10 and 12 gauges, but the 16 gauge was added in 1906 and followed by the 20 gauge in 1908. Production data for the No. 00 are 611 10 gauge, 48,376 12 gauge, 4,726 16 gauge, 3,382 20 gauge, and 1 28 gauge. It could be ordered with the extra cost options of automatic ejectors (placed in 6,308 shotguns) and the Hunter One-Trigger. Like all Smiths, it had a checkered grip and forend. The standard gun was priced at $37 in 1898 and $32 in 1912. Automatic ejectors added about $13 to the price.
