Lefevers are great old guns, and in .410 I'm sure they were and are as petite as any American gun made. With that said, however, all you would have to do is pick up an English 20 or 28 and you would likely find that the wrists on those guns would be even smaller. When it comes to petite, when you don't have to deal with a drawbolt you can really pair things down. It all goes back to that weight and balance thing. The English (and, to some degree the French) really worked at making guns that handled and balanced as good as they could possibly make them. Diamond shaped wrists required a fair amount of time and handwork to complete, so they are not on every English gun you will encounter. But pre-WWI examples seem to have them more often than not, and even on their boxlock guns. It's hard to explain how good they feel unless you have already picked one up. And, at that point no explanation is necessary.
