I always thought the Lefever A Grade, and Ithace NID has more in common than the Nitro's......... Always put the Nitros in same category as 311, BSE, Win 24's..... A step below the field grade guns of Ithaca, LC Smith, Fox, Parker, etc....

Not a very good picture, but I think this gives a good feel for the little dove killer

Some of these little "entry-level" .410-bore doubles getting are pretty spendy!! Steve B. has a fully optioned Lefever A-Grade listed at $12,500! In 1984 I handled a similar one at the Kittery Trading Post with $750 on the tag and I didn't buy it.

My first shotgun was a single barrel 410 ga Springfield with plastic stock and fore end. Hunted rabbits with it at age 13. Only shot it for one year till my dad let me shoot his Parker 16 ga. While over the years I have acquired and shot Brownings, Berettas, Winchesters and Ithaca shotguns, I've always returned to my Parkers. But recently I purchased from Dean R. a near mint 20 ga Fox Sterlingworth, and have not touched any of my Parkers since. I must be loosing it...

Didn’t I warn you? Those extra tight chokes are contagious!

You did warn me Dean. I have shot skeet and trap very well with this Sterly and i can not put it down. It is a fun gun to shoot. My parkers are crying in the gun safe. Lol

Thanks Researcher, for posting the info on the 44-40 and 44 XL. Never seen those ads before. I've been thinking of working up a load for what I think is a 44 XL I picked up a little while back. It is a Walters and Son stamped laminated steel, but the worn areas look like fluid steel. The pattern is visible below the forend. Belgium made posing as British. Tiny little thing.
