I dont know much about this shotgun. I do know that it is old. maybe very old. it is missing the stock and surely requires alot of work, parts and expert knowledge in order to get it working. if it can be fixed, i just dont know. but here it is, it has no lettering on the entire gun except this

PATO JUNE.1.85 (At least that is how i read it
and the numbers 29739.

  I have a L.C. Smith shotgun that I have had for quite some time, I acquired it from my uncle. I would like to find out a ballpark value on this gun.

  L.C. Smith shotguns are desireable collector items, but value depends a great deal on condition; so we'll need to hear more from you on what shape yours is in before estimating a value.

  The condition of the stock is near perfect, no chips or discoloration. No rust anywhere on the gun. There are some spots on the main body of the gun where the engravings are that can most likely be buffed out. Rating the gun, I would say that it is 90-95%.

  Your LC Smith was the lowest of the six different grades of the Single Barrel Trap guns made, but none of them are cheap... all were high quality smoothbores. No way to know what it is really worth until you sell it, but if it were mine to sell, my reserve would be about $1500.
