Default Lefever 20 ga

I found this little E grade 20 gauge Lefever last summer at a gun show. It has 28" Krupp Fluid steel barrels and it is an ejector gun. As far as I can determine it was made around 1905 with the 54XXX serial number. It's a nice shooting gun that functions well. The person that sold it to me said it was a friend of his that owned the gun. Apparently, when the friend's father died the executor of the estate, in another state, sent him the gun in a box. It remained in the box, unopened, for over 10 years until the son opened it last spring. Not being a gun guy he found the seller to represent the gun for him at this little gun show. And I just happened down the aisle. When you do the math, the book indicates there were only around 100 guns made in 20 gauge in the higher grades with engraving.
