Lefever Arms Co. being in Syracuse, one or more members of the Glahn family would be a good bet. Joe Loy went to work at Remington in 1895, retiring in 1940 with 45 years service. A hell of a lot of Ithaca guns are attributed to Loy from long after he had gone to Ilion!!

Respectfully - Several noted engravers of the pre WW1 era are known to have free-lanced their work on their own time with other gun manufacturers. IMO this doesn’t look like Glahn’s work.

See here a very similar pointer to the one on your gun. This gun is a B grade.

The serial number for this gun dates it to 1893, I realize the serial numbers are not exact on Lefever guns but if this gun actually is 1893 was Mr. Loy working for Lefever then, or Ithaca?

That's a gorgeous LeFever..... I don't own one, but plan to some day.... Very nice, no matter who the engraver was.

The B grade I posted a photo of is an early thumb opener action. I think it was in the 10,000 serial range.
