Guns Listing ID: 697710
The Lefever Arms Co. side-by-side (SxS) double barrel shotgun is a highly influential vintage firearm, famous for pioneering the first commercially successful hammerless design in the United States.
Originally manufactured by Daniel \"Uncle Dan\" Lefever, they are celebrated for their superb craftsmanship, intricate engravings, and mechanical ingenuity. Because Lefever produced shotguns over several decades (from the late 1800s until 1947), the exact details depend heavily on the era and the specific model grade.
Graded Sidelock Shotguns (c. 1880s–1910s)Action & Hammers: The earliest models were the first American-made hammerless shotguns. Later sidelock variations feature automatic safeties and visible cocking indicators.
Barrels: Early grades were often equipped with highly prized Damascus steel barrels, while later models used Krupp or other high-quality fluid steels.
Engraving & Wood: Graded guns (ranging from G and F grades up to the highly ornate A, AA, and Optimus grades) featured gorgeous, hand-cut scrollwork and game-scene engravings (such as pointing dogs, woodcocks, and ducks). The stocks were made of premium, checkered Circassian or American walnut.
Unique Mechanics: Many higher-end Lefever models feature an adjustable knuckle (or hinge) that allows the shooter to tighten the barrels to the receiver if they shoot \"off face\" over time, an innovative feature for the period.The Lefever Nitro Special (c. 1921–1947)Following financial struggles and Daniel Lefever‚s death, the Lefever Arms branch was acquired by the Ithaca Gun Company.
Design: Ithaca transformed the Lefever name into a rugged, reliable, and accessible working-man‚s shotgun.Action & Finish: These are hammerless, boxlock-style shotguns featuring double triggers, shell extractors (rather than ejectors), and color case-hardened receivers.
Markings: The barrels are typically stamped \"LEFEVER NITRO SPECIAL\" on the right, and \"LEFEVER ARMS CO. / ITHACA, N.Y.\" on the left.Gauges: Available in 12, 16, and 20 gauges, with a .410 bore variant introduced in 1926.
