Lefever DS 16
a well worn but solid field gun, made with 16 gauge barrels on a 20 gauge XX frame - which seems to be the norm for this model. If the serial number list is right its a late gun 1914/15
Wearing 28" barrels it tips the scales just under 6 1/2 pounds. The 2 5/8 drop seems to fit me well, we will see once I get it out for clays. The chokes are a little tight -.026 and .035 so I will have to see how much the RST spreaders will open them up for grouse and woodcock which is what I plan to use it for.

Rick, that is one nice looking gun, and if the spreaders work for you, one deadly grouse gun.
