Lefever Double Barrel Vent Rib Trap (Model 4)
 

Anyone know anything about these? Being offered one. Not a high grade but apparently they did not make many of them.

Thanks in advance.

In 1930 and 1931 the Lefever Double Barrel Trap Gun had double triggers. From the April 1930 issue of Field & Stream --

There were Lefever Arms Co., Inc. posters dated 1930; Oct. 1, 1930 and 1931 where it is called "The Latest Lefever Double Barrel Trap Gun" with a list price of $60.

The next Lefever Arms Co., Inc. poster I know of is the Single Trigger poster from mid-1932 when they introduced their Non-Selective Single Trigger. That is the first poster where the Model numbers appear and the Double Trap Gun is dubbed the Model 4. The list price with the Non-Selective Single Trigger increased to $64.80. The Single Trigger Poster also includes the line "Automatic Ejector, if wanted, $10.90 extra." Also, the Hawkins pad is replaced by the new Ithaca "bridge trestle" pad.

By 1934, they appear desperate to move some of these Model 4 Double Trap Guns out and dropped the price to $43.20.

By 1935, the Model 4 is gone from the Lefever Arms Co. paper and the new Model 5 and Model 6 Skeet Gun are added.

The DGJ reference in the link Frank Posted should be Spring 2013.

Thanks all.
