  I've been told it is Fausti. They do make good guns, but somehow an Italian L.C. Smith just doesn't seem right.

  That would be Marlin.
  
  c&p - A grand old brand name returns to the Marlin line. Back in1945, Marlin bought The Hunter Arms Company, of Fulton, New York, maker of the legendary L.C. Smith side-by-side shotgun. Nicknamed the "Elsie", this sidelock double gun was made for a few years in the Marlin plant, before being phased out because of high manufacturing costs. Although we have not been able to bring back the L.C. Smith as an American-made gun, we are having one of Italy's finest shotgun companies build models worthy of the great L.C. Smith name. These new side-by-sides are crafted with false side plates to echo the look of the original Smith guns. And, although there were no over-and-under L.C. Smiths, we are offering 12 and 20 gauge models with the same excellent level of quality.
