Destroy, I’d buy two of the big Lefever patches. If you need a design I did make a decal for LACA and those images are on the PGCA and LACA sites.

Here's all I've found for Lefever that might be patch appropriate. Either the right hand duck or the setter with sharptail. What do you all think?

This is the most commonly seen piece of Lefever advertising Art.

And this GI listing for a large lot of advertising may draw some inspiration.

Unfortunately, game is rarely the sole subject of Lefever advertising. Usually it was the factory, or the gun itself.

Yeah I'm well aware, and it's wayyyyy too detailed for this project. To get that to look right the patches would be two feet tall and $500.

Setter w/sharpie

I just hate to do another dog with grouse since I did one so similar for LC Smith.

How about a Setter on point, no bird involved? Simpler and classy.

As I mentioned, I'm only using vintage advertising from the company, if I don't use something like that I'll likely not make the patch. Generating new art is expensive and time consuming. If you knew how much time making these involves for me you'd wonder why I bother, gotta keep it as simple as I can.

If you don't like the Lefever art I've found feel free to go to work and locate something better. I'm always up for help, hence my posting asking if anybody had anything. I've probably spent two hours on Google searching already and an hour on the phone with my patch ladies running stuff by them.
