well gents, my lefever arrived, im very pleased, a G grade sxs 12 with fine damascus of 3 or 4 irons, horsehoe pattern, no here are some interesting features, maybe someone can shed some light on, the barrels bear the same 44061 serial# as reciever, and forend, reciever is stamped G, However, the bottom of the barrels is 44061, followed by an F?? chambers are 3" they have not been altered, they are factory, had a reputable smith examine it, barrels on muzzle ends are nearly 1/8" thick? could this have been a specially ordered gun, ? barrels are 32" long, i have pics of it, im unsure how to post pics, its choked extremely tight on both barrels, down to near 16 gauge diameter, there are no other marks under the barrels except the serial and the F, the F is separate from serial, i do have clear pics of it, also i thought the butt pad wasnt orig, it is, its a jostam anti flinch recoil pad, which was offered by lefever /ithaca on lower to mid grade guns of the time
