Mr Benson,
I think you did real well finding this Lefever E grade. This was a $100 dollar gun back in the day in prices compared to the LC grade 3 and Parker D grade. The engraving was very well executed. No Lefever's look alike when it comes with engraving on the side plates. Dogs on one side, bird on the other, both dogs, etc. The dog engraving do look so lifelike you almost think they will jump out at you. You never mentioned this but do you know your Lefever has the in frame ejectors?
Mine has a pair of wood cock on one side and a setter pointing at a falling woodcock on the other.
