I would guess that Lefever used this gun to experiment/test his ideas on the side cocker patent but for the life of me, can not figure out why he would use a Parker. He was building his own guns during this time period. I question the statement that Lefever only built 750 sidecockers as about 20 years ago I purchased 2 side cockers at Frank Lefever's gun shop. They were consecutivley numbered 10 gauges, serialed 4999 and 5000.
