Description:
Lefever A Grade 12 Gauge SxS Shotgun
MODEL 6 SKEET, AS NEW, FULLY OPTIONED
General Specs: Lefever, Year 1936, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 8oz, Side by Side
Serial Number: 300767
The Ithaca Gun Co. produced the “Lefever Nitro” using the well known name of Dan Lefever to call attention to their affordable but well made double shotguns. They utilized this marketing to produce a group of Lefevers with nicer fit and finish and with a variety of configurations which they labeled the Lefever A Grades, with nicer wood, checkering, some line engraving, and they looked nearly identical to their more costly Ithaca NID era guns. Ithaca actually produced 6 different configurations in the A Grades from a field style, to a single barrel trap, to the very low production Model 6 Skeet gun. This gun is one of these Model 6 “Special Skeet Guns” with single trigger, beavertail forend, ejectors, ivory bead, and the skeet chokes of the day. Serial number 300767, it was made in 1936, the first year of production. The Model 6 was discontinued in 1939 with a very small number made, likely less than 1000 guns in all gauges. The Lefever A Grade Skeet is an excellent skeet gun even today, and this one is like new after a very professional restoration. What a great gun to shoot clay targets or birds with, and it will continue to gain value as you enjoy its use.
