The LC Smith Collectors Association had a wonderful display at that show. Such is the case with a trap gun that was purchased at the Ohio Gun Collector's Association show last July. I'm sure the stories, even for the most humble shotgun, would be fascinating and great pieces of our history. In far too many cases it is too bad the gun can't talk. Artifacts are perhaps left along with the gun to pique our interests. Much of that story rests with the owners who used the gun for hunting, the shooting sports or perhaps their job. Far too often records, especially on our "Dear Elsie's" (LC Smith Shotguns) are lost or destroyed. Some of that story is recorded in various production and sales records.
