While that style grip cap was used on a lot of Lefevers, it was a commercially available cap that any company could have purchased. It is just as likely there was a supply of them left in the Defiance plant when D.M. Lefever moved on to Bowling Green and Waverly took over. I note there is no extension of the barrel lug through the bottom of the frame as in both the sideplate and the box-frame/trigger-plate Lefevers.
I just found a letter to me from Joe Vorisek dated June 7, 1993, from a time when he and I were hashing out the last six years of Uncle Dan's struggle to produce his box-frame/trigger-plate gun. In the letter Joe mentions that in 1990 he found a Waverly Arms Co. boxlock double that was a virtual clone of the D.M. Lefever gun.
