*EXCEPTIONAL HIGH CONDITION LEFEVER 20 GAUGE FE GRADE GAME GUN. SN 38154. Cal. 20 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 26″ Striking chain Damascus bbls fitted with raised, flat, matted rib, are stamped with SN and “E” on bottom of left bbl. Case hardened small frame typical late Lefever ejector action is stamped with “XX” small frame mark, SN, and “F” on water table. Action is engraved in typical “F” style with small flourishes of scroll on bottom of action and sideplates, which are also engraved with game birds; a quail on left, and a duck on right. Trigger plate is stamped with patent dates, the last being “87”. SN is at grip of case hardened and scroll engraved trigger guard. Triggers and cocking indicators are nickel-plated. Nicely streaked and lightly figured European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 13-7/8″ over checkered composition buttplate with Lefever logo. Stock features point pattern checkering with beaded border and nicely fluted comb. Matching splinter forend has steel tip and central medallion. Bore diameter: left -.625, right -.623.

Bbls retain 95% bold original brown with excellent definition to pattern, with a number of minor marks and a small area of speckling. Action retains 80 – 90% orig case hardening color, thinning and silvering at normal carry point at bottom front. Lockplates retain essentially all of their vivid case hardening color. Thumbpiece is silvered, as are safety, and rear of top tang. Steel medallion on forend still retains 70 – 80% of its color. Trigger guard is silvered at edges, and considerably at grip. Stocks retain most of what appears to be their orig varnish finish with some oil rubbed in. There appears to be a very small repaired crack at right rear just to the right of top tang. Bores are excellent, bright and shiny. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. A rare American lightweight upland gun in an incredible state of preservation. 4-46354 MGM47 (5,000-8,000)
