Action is engraved in typical “F” style with geometric and line borders, along with flourishes of well cut scroll framing circular vignettes of game birds on lockplates; a duck on left, and snipe on right. Each lockplate is stamped “LEFEVER ARMS CO”. Trigger plate is stamped with patent dates, the last one being “87”. SN is at grip of case hardened, scroll engraved trigger guard. Nicely marbled and fiddle figured European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/4″ over old original hardened Silver pad. Standard point pattern checkering with beaded borders at grip. Matching splinter forend has friction release. Bore diameter: left-.729, right -.729. Bore restrictions: left -.034 (Full), right -.033 (Full). Minimum wall thickness: left -.036, right -.034.

Case hardening of action is exceptionally fine, nearly 100% present, with only a hint of silvering on high points and sharp edges. A considerable amount of orig varnish is present. Case hardening color on trigger guard is also exceptionally good, silvered at grip. Case hardening of forend iron, central escutcheon, and tip are considerably silvered from normal carrying wear. Stocks retain nearly all of what appears to be their orig finish, grain slightly raised, with a small number of marks, knocks, and scratches. Recoil pad is an old on orig curve. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. A extremely fine example of this seldom seen American classic in ultra-high original condition. 4-50844 MGM67 (8,500-12,500) – Lot 3522
