If that G grade was built in 1917 that would make it an Ithaca built gun. It was definitely sent back for an upgrade or built totally out of sequence. A gun in the 19K SN range should have two hook cocking, not the single hook of this gun. No picture of the action flat area was shown so one could see if it is a small hook or large hook, though I feel pretty sure it is a large hook gun. Probably that cross pin in the frame bar has had its center section cut out. A large hook gun would not normally be expected to have plate mounted sears which this one apparently does, at least it has the screws in the plate for them. It also has the internally adjusted sear engagement adjusters.
none of the above is a serious distraction to value, just makes Lefever's interesting, one sees so many variations. 7K is however a pretty stiff price for a G grade, even a two barrel set (With one set Cut) with Bachelder restoration.
