Default Comparison of Nichols & Lefever, and Lefever Arms

Looking at the picture of the beautiful gun Brian posted, reminded me how so many features were carried over from Dan's Hammer gun, when they were Nichols & Lefever. It has been said so often, Dan was a horrible businessman, but possibly one of the best gun makers.
This is yet another example of Brad Bachelder's great talent. The gun was a total train wreck. Stock was in three pieces, and now, no evidence of it's hard life.

Could those people at Lefever put wood on a gun; awesome.

They have to be some of the best decorated guns ever made.
