I have some Ithaca Lefever paper from 1931, and I don't see any mention of ejectors. In Walters book a Feb. 15, 1933 price list is shown and Automatic Ejectors are listed as a $10.90 extra cost option on the Model 1 Nitro Special or the Model 4 Double Ventilated Rib Trap. The next Ithaca Lefever paper I have is dated Feb. 15, 1934, and on it Automatic Ejectors are listed as a $10.90 extra cost option on the Model 1, 4 or Lefever A-Grade. The Feb. 15, 1935, Dealers Quotations, Automatic Ejectors have dropped to $10.80 and a beavertail is offered as an option on both the Model 1 (Nitro Special) and the Model 5 A-Grade for $10.80. By the Jan. 25, 1936 Dealers Quotations, Automatic Ejectors are discontinued on the Western Arms Long Range Double and the Lefever Model 1 Nitro Special, and only offered as an option on the Model 5 A-Grade. Same with the Beavertail, only offered as an option on the Model 5 A-Grade. By the Feb. 7, 1938 Dealers Quotations the Automatic Ejectors and Beavertail Forearm options are gone completely. The non-selective single trigger option remained through the last offering of the Lefever Nitro Special that I have on the February 1947 price list. By 1948 the Nitro Special is listed as discontinued.
