The safety gives this gun away as a nice "early" top lever gun, maybe 10,000 range or earlier. The LACA Chronology lists my old #9568 E Grade as the earliest known top lever gun. It is also a 16 gauge. Josh's pictured Optimus is outstanding. Do we know the serial number?

All Optimus grades are IMO the best of their kind; and now this indescribable beauty in the very rare 16 gauge. Wow! I love the bolsters at the bottom of the breech area on these higher grade Lefevers. I am beyond green with envy!!!! Please, what are the specifics, barrel length, stock dimensions, weight, etc. I just want to drool some more, although I am already on my second bib! I Love Lefevers!
