That one is a nitro special by Ithaca. Also refinished. Checkering not correct and frame should be case colored.

Well I’m getting an education this morning. Gun listed as a Lefever so incorrect then? Should stick with Parkers. At least I know what they look like.

The Lefever Nitro series is an Ithaca Gun Co. designed and manufactured product. Ithaca bought out the Lefever Arms Co. in 1916. They put together a few original Lefever guns from parts left over. In 1921 they introduced the Nitro Special which was of their design. It was a well built but relatively inexpensive gun which was marketed using the famous Lefever name.
