Wonder if this set up for live birds- a gold pigeon is inset on the crown of the top lever- is the trigger selective or non-selective. Ejectors I assume. Is the safety a 3 position as on the early "Elsies"? What a stunning shotgun-Look at a recent DU magazine article (2007 Fall) by Ron Spoomer- on doubles- I believe he has a LeFever Optimus Grade shown- with teo purple shells adjacent, so I guess 16 bore. What a rare find, and with the proof barrels, shootable today with light loads. I found an older 12 G LeFever but with 30" Damascus barrels for sale at $500 range-stock had been shortened a bit- but the action was tight and smooth in opening and closing-Uncle Dan- he was "Da Man"
