This is an Ithaca assembled Lefever. The serial numbers from that group of guns are all over the place. The original Lefevers didn't put the grade on the barrels. It is quite possible those barrels weren't used on a gun by the original company because of the mistake, or the second number was stamped to match the frame by Ithaca.
