Just for info, Parker was the main producer of 8 gauges of the quality american double gun makers. Their 400 plus certainly outranks LC Smith's approximate 30 and Lefevers, fewer than that. In 50 years of gun collecting I have seen only one Lefever 8. It was a beat, cut barreled gun. For additional info, in my second to last job of my career, the toolroom at the manufacturing plant was run by two Lefevers. Both great grandsons of the original. Excellent machinists but neither owned any guns but did have one early catalog that I copied.
