A very rarely seen vent rib double trap Lefever Nitro, especially in this original condition. I hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas to all even if you don't.




From an October 1930 poster. Couldn't get the whole thing in.

What gauge is this?
A guy contacted me the other day saying he had a .410 in this kind of condition. I told him to contact you.

Bob, Its a 12 ga. Model 4, top gun on the invoice, bottom gun on the poster. Only about 200 total production. Since I can count that high and maybe a bit more, I will do that. Most were non-ejector guns. I did hear from Mr. Joyner.

I hope that rare gun is in good hands that will preserve it. Nice find Walt.

Chuck,
The gun is safe.

Always something new (and this one LOOKS new), Walt!

It's a great looking gun.

Super find!! Thanks for sharing.

I would show you all what a Nitro Special looks like but I can't take a picture of it because its being used by my neighbor as a main beam to hold his house up. Last month the coal mine called asking to use it to hold the roof up in their 27 mile long coal shaft, I said to him that it might take more than one Ithaca to hold up 27 miles of coal shaft, but he said no yours should do it. And the other day my other neighbor called asking if he could use it as a truck axle for his tractor trailer.
Man-o-live, you would think one day I'll actually get to hunt with it.

Merry Christmas Walt, and thanks for the pics!!

Ithaca; Native American word for "No back-up necessary"!!

Walt, do you have a recond on my Lefever? It is an exact copy of your. My serial # is 285208. The only difference is my Lefever has two triggers. I got it at an auction and when I talked with people there, they said " it is just a Lefever". I had to laugh about that. I will gladly pay your fee if you have a record on my gun. Thanks, Frank
