Very nice Lefever’s Craig,

I was always taught that jealousy is wrong, I don’t think they were referring to fine shotguns.

Besides being handsome guns the design changes during their history is a interesting topic to study.

Craig: great looking Lefever. I love mine.

I have a rack of nice Lefevers, all E grade and lower. Josh helped me get my first higher grade Lefever, a nice C, and it happened to be an eight. Yes, a C grade 8 gauge. It may have a wart or two, but I haven't found them yet. I received my first Lefever when I was about eleven years old, an E grade pigeon gun, a gift from my uncle who had kept it under wraps since 1929, when my grandfather died. My uncle had no children, so I was the recipient.

Craig, great loving Lefevers!!!
I sold a Lefever EE in near mint condition years ago and it's 1 of 2 guns I've regretted selling!! I had bought it from William Larkin and Moore more than 20 years ago.
