Description:
Scarce early ejector gun, this CE Lefever has some of the most intense and gorgeous wood I have seen on an early Lefever and very surprising to find such incredible wood on a CE Grade.  The gun is a 12ga 30" Damascus barrelled gun made with gold plated double triggers, ejectors, safety, and rare semi pistol grip buttstock.  The gun has the original Lefever Arms Co. monogrammed buttplate.  Likely Loy engraved - see the photos for detailed shots of the dogs which are so well executed.  

Overall the gun is in fine original condition retaining about about 20-25% original case color, 98% restored damascus pattern, and 95% restored stock finish with some subsequent handling marks.  Bores are excellent, mechanics are crisp.  Left lockplate closeup photo shows some dry grease on it which would clean off if you desired it.  

This is a fine early Lefever.  Priced at $SOLD plus.  Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions or reasonable offers on this fine gun.  I can be reached at (704) 280-2382 or via PM on this site.
