Edgar, Post pics of the gun if you can. Would like to see it.
The Lefever A grade is a nice gun. I had a Model 5 in 12g. a while ago and I wish I hadn't have gotten rid of it. The A grades were a higher quality, dressed up version of the Nirto Special. Upgrades included: Sculpted frame, fine line engraving, extended trigger guard, checkered low profile safety, ebony forend tip wedge and slightly nicer checkering.
The A grades would have been Marked "Lefever A Grade" on the top of the barrels. And had a "A" on the water table and forend iron. And they did NOT have the flying duck on the sides of the receiver. Only the Nitro Special had the duck. A few of the later production Nitro Specials had the sculpted frame however.
