Thanks guys. This new to me H Grade with ejectors is a 30" gun and has a steel forend escutcheon that's devoid of engraving, same as another H Grade/extractor gun I own. Also, a G Grade was facing me this morning as I opened the safe and it has an unengraved steel escutcheon. All three Lefevers are about the same 1901-03 vintage.

Just an aside here, that Dan Lefever ejector system is ingenious and uses the mainsprings (hammer springs) to power the ejectors; there are no separate ejector springs. I've now owned seven Syracuse Lefevers with ejectors and all of them worked perfectly and put quite a kick on the spent hulls. Understandably these ejector guns are a little harder to cock on closing than extractor guns.
