Price ? on a LC Smith

[wlewisiii]

Was at a local shop and saw a nice older field grade LC Smith 30" barrels in 12 Gauge. In really nice condition overall & locks up tight, but had been reblued in the not too distant past. Stock fit acceptably, wood is average. It's on consignment for $695. I hesitate because of the refinishing and a relative lack of knowledge of LC Smith (as opposed to Ithaca or, even, Parker). If that price is reasonable or good, are there any particular gotcha's to watch for? Or just the usual double gun things?

Thanks!

In original shape that's a fair price. Refinished... unless it was done by Doug Turnbull or the like, it harms the value.

Make sure there are no cracks at the back of the locks, wood recession, and that it's on face.

$495 to much imho
