Nice gun Jerry. You might want to post this on the Lefever site https://www.lefevercollectors.com/di...r-discussions/.

Not sure who the engraver is but someone there will know who was engraving during that time period.

Lefevers are great guns and need to be shot to be appreciated. I'm sure the doves are in great danger come this fall but why not introduce her to Mr. Tom this spring?

Charlie, Lefever E grades in the 10,000 range have no dogs or other interesting embellishment. The dogs came later. There are a flock of E grades in my collection, and all of them are early guns without dogs. One of my treasures is an E grade 16, the first hammerless top lever 16 made, according to the LACA bank of information.

The eyes look like Loy's but the rest of the dogs aren't quite what I would call his. Maybe an understudy of his?

Bruce,

Your Lefever EE detailed dogs make mine, well, look like Parker dogs. In fact, my EE dogs look like the dogs on most DH Parkers in my opinion.

Daniel Lefever campaigned setters fairly exclusively. I never heard of him running a pointer.
