An awesome way to go with these is to engrave them like the Lefever A grades. Simple yet attractive.

A nice condition .410-bore like that would get my vote to leave as it is and shoot gently. According to the best serial number chronology I know, the one in the Second Edition of Walter Snyder's book your gun is from 1941.

I agree with Dave. Leave it alone and just shoot it. I had one of these 410s years back. It was a favorite and a good little shooter. Very nice John!

Great find! I'm not much for "upgrading" guns so I'd leave it alone but that's just me; it is elegant in its simplicity. It'll be great fun to shoot. I have a little Stevens from a similar era and have had a lot of fun with it.

Here is how Ithaca upgraded one of their 1928 Lefever Nitro Specials for a gun writer of the 1940/50s --

To each his own ! But if it were me I’d clean it up a bit . If the comb was to low I’d use the Velcro thing to bring the comb up to more comfortable dimensions and shoot it as much as I wanted .

I have my great uncle Fred's 12 Gauge Fox Sterlingworth (choked .041/.041!) He tells about hunting with a friend and they spotted two geese in a field. They snuck up on them, jumped up and shot them both. That made the two hunters in the blind with what had been their live decoys very mad. In Uncle Fred's words - " And then the track meet was on" I assume this was in the days when live decoys were legal
