Description:
Lefever GE 12 Gauge Side-by-Side
FACTORY HIGH CONDITION, EJECTORS, NICE FIND!
General Specs: Lefever, Year 1906, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 5oz, SxS
Serial Number: 53584
The Lefever GE Grade guns are not the fancy, engraved guns from Lefever Arms, but they were not the lowest end of the scale either. The DS was Lefever’s entry level gun, then came the H Grade, then the G Grade. The G Grade had true Damascus Steel barrels instead of twist steel and they used a much nicer grade of European walnut to stock the gun, with a finer checkering pattern to set it off from the lower grades. Most of the lower grade guns from any maker tend to be worn beyond desirability. Worse yet, they have been “fixed” and “restored” by basement tinkerers that relinquish the gun to a state of unworthiness for anyone who knows fine vintage American double shotguns. This Lefever, serial number 53584 made in 1906, is one of the lucky ones. It remains intact, with just light normal wear over its 108 years of service, with all original parts, original checkering, nicely figured uncut wood with the original factory installed Silvers pad (rock hard…we can replace it for you if you wish), PERFECT BORES ON THE UNDAMAGED STAR DAMASCUS STEEL BARRELS, a solid 90% vivid factory original case color, perfect screws, all in top mechanical condition. The barrels are tight as new on the joint and breech face of the action. The ejectors are strong and properly timed. This is an affordable entry into the fine vintage shotgun market and is ready to be used afield and at the clays course for another 100 years. Lefever made some beautiful shotguns, and this is one of them. Thanks for looking!
