I would appreciate any assistance,
thank you. mrwmartin

Here you go. Obviously the hole is original to the gun as the engraving goes around it.

That hole isn't threaded, is it? Syracuse Lefevers have a threaded hole on the top strap in about that position longitudinally, but it is centered in the top strap and normally hidden under the top lever. There is a slotted set screw that, when run in, disables the safety when the gun is broken open and cocked. I've seen several Lefevers that have this screw hole, but the screw is missing.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Could it have been for the stub on the top lever spring?

Hello Joe,
I am puzzled what it could be for, I havent seen anything similar and I have seen and handled a lot of basic boxlocks over the years. Hopefully someone will be aware of its use and enlighten me. It is probably very obvious!
cheers

Hell Stan,
Oil hole sounds a feasible use but I am puzzled why I
havent came across this before. Thanks for input.
