Thanks TB. I figured as much since there was no E stamped on the frame.

So this is a later model H grade correct? I has no engraving on the side plates besides "Lefever Arms Co."

It is a nice gun and if I can get it right, I'll likely buy it with the idea of reselling it if I am not in love with it (I prefer 28" bbls and this one has 30" bbls) The bbl finish is pretty even with what is seen here and there are even traces of case coloring left on the side plates.

Still boggled by the serial number snafu though. ha!

Thanks,
Shane
