L C Smith 20 gauge questions

I am cleaning an LC smith 20 gauge SXS for a friend. He would like to know about it. Where can I find information as to what markings came during what years, it says L C SMITH FIELD GRADE on the right barrel and nothing more, and LC SMITH on both sides of receiver, and the serial number is on the frame under the barrels, and on the forearm. It is in very good condition, good wood, lots of blue on barrel, very light wear on receiverin places that i can clean, the bores are very good. It also has a white line rubber butt pad. any info on it would be appreciated, and value? thanks

the serial number prefix FWS makes this a Marlin era gun---1946-1950----specifically a 1946 gun. Not as desirable to a collector as a Hunter gun, and in the condition you describe I think V35's estimate is on the high end of value. You can get a replacement buttplate from several sources.
