I seem to recall that Cleveland owned and shot a Lefever, yes?

I know Josh has that Lefever 8 gauge that is linked to Cleveland but he also owned a Colt 1883 8 gauge. I have heard he actually owned 2 of the Colts but never seen a source backing that up. I think Cleveland owned different brands of American doubles he mentions carrying a sub gauge gun along with fishing rod for when he saw shore birds while out fishing. I wonder if perhaps he found English guns pretentious as he seemed to held some contempt for wealthy sportsmen or I guess more accurately wealthy dandies.
