From Tisdale Sporting Goods in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1910, a Parker GHE 12ga, 30”.

From LeFever’s direct to Hamilton, Ontario, in 1904, a Lefever E 12ga, 30”.

I don't know much about Lefever but the dog looks much like the dog on my Lewis 4 E Grade Ithaca. I am lead to believe from Synders book that the engraver was Edward Lathem circa 1902. Joseph Loy was his senior and was a mystery man and hard to trace as I have only found one photo of that master. His dogs on the Remington 1894 era SXS I covet and may someday get to own one. What a master of engraving dogs and birds!! Bruce your collection of guns you could charge admission to see! I enjoy and learn so much from your postings. Hope to meet you one day.

What verification do you have of shipment on the lefever? Factory records do not exist.

I bought it from a person connected to the original owner family. I don’t think they were lying but it’s possible.

I figured the origin was verified by the party you acquired it from.
