The new "LC Smith" O/Us and SxSs that Marlin is importing from Italy are made by Fausti Stefano. I've handled the O/U at Bass Pro Shop, and it's a nice solid field grade gun that sells for around $1100.
The LC Smith Faustis use a different action than the bargain basement Faustis that are imported by Traditions and were formerly sold through WalMart.
