Ran across a gun the other day . Fellow brought a LeFever F grade 12 gauge in the shop in very nice shape I would say atleast 92-95% overall . Gun had very nice wood , straight grip , 32" fluid steel barrels that seemed to be full and xtra full . Some tastefull engraving on the side plates and the bores were perfect . The water table was marked F however the gun was set up for ejectors although they only work as extractors . At first Pigeon gun never dawned on me then I finally noticed it had no safety .
Gun also had a LeFever buttplate .

I'm curiouse if anyone has any idea the number of Pigeon guns LeFever more then likely produced ?

Sorry I failed to take pics of this one . However another time I may be able as it belongs to a friend that comes in the shop just about every week .
