Default Gun store find today: 1887 L.C. & 1902 Lefever

I occasionally stop in a local gun shop because they take in consignments and their pricing is very fair. Today they had a 1887 Syracuse manufactured L.C. Smith in Grade 3 with 32" Damascus barrels with pristine bores. It had some remaining case colors and the butt stock had very nice wood. The Silvers pad has seen better days, but for $500 I had to take it home.
While the paperwork was being completed I saw a hammerless sidelock that caught my eye. I looked it over and well gosh, an ejector gun! Fluid steel 30" barrels with pristine bores and the factory butt plate. The tag said $300, so I said, "Add this one on also." It turns out to be a 1902 date of manufacture Lefever. I'll share some quick photos and let's have some fun with your comments about my splurge today.
