Charlie,
The Lefever Arms Company produced both a D grade and in later years, a DS or Durston Special grade. D grade Lefevers will have cocking indicators and some engraving. I'm not certain but I think that a D grade Lefever woudl be comparable to a GH Parker. A 20 gauge in D grade would be a great find. DS Lefevers have no engraving or cocking indicators. DS 20's are fairly common. DS Lefevers were teh very basic guns and on that basis would compare more to a Parker Trojan. Like a Trojan, there was nothing "cheap" about a DS Lefever!
I have a restored DS 20 ga which is my favorite gun in that gauge. I've let go a RBL 20 and have offered for sale a Parker DHE 20 because for me the little DS is THE gun in 20 gauge!
