A Nice Lefever

1 Attachment(s)

A dear friend of mine sent me some photos of one of his prized Lefever possessions. This is a 16ga Optimus. Two of my favorite things about these early Lefevers is the carved arrow behind the lock plates and the incredible breech ball sculpting. This gun is signed by A.E. Spangler on the lock plates. This is a thing of beauty in my eyes.....

That defiantly qualifies as functional art.

The safety gives this gun away as a nice "early" top lever gun, maybe 10,000 range or earlier. The LACA Chronology lists my old #9568 E Grade as the earliest known top lever gun. It is also a 16 gauge. Josh's pictured Optimus is outstanding. Do we know the serial number?
