Thanks Jack. I didn't know that. My knowledge of Lefevers is pretty limited and I was going on the gun shown. I'm getting a bigger picture that they varied quite a bit. Chris, I have seen a few of the early Lefever boxlocks and they are attractive to me. The late ones look sort of industrial but each person has different likes.
