What Jimmy said. Also seeing that LC Smith 8 gauges are more rare. Heck, why not invite Lefever too?

I think it would be interesting to see more, I wouldn't mind seeing a Lefever myself.

I’d like to see the Colt 8 that was presented to Grover Cleveland . That one might be in Chantilly at the NRA museum .

Do you have the 8 gauge Lefever that if I remmember correctly was upgraded to an I think it was called Olympus ? Might there be a restocked A-1 Special in your booth as well ????

Charlie I was thinking the other day when I read about the 8 gauges I automatically think of the English wildfowlers but I believe Parker Bros probably built more 8 gauges than anyone else .

I seen a old auction(2005) listing where a Lefever 8 gauge sold for 4k , I wish those prices were still similar today haha .
