DoubleNut;
That looks identical to the engraving on my late H grades. As I said though I don't have a late G with which to compare. My "Youngest" G is in the 28K serial number range & only has the line engraving.

Lefever is one of those rare makes which has almost as many exceptions to the rule as those which follow the rule. As a rule the later the gun the more the engraving which is reversed from most makes which tend to cut cost by getting simpler as they go to save money. Jon; If you look at catalogs of the era showing factory suggested list price you will see the reason for this. Competition was fierce & for a good period of time most companies were reducing prices. List price per grade on a Lefever remained unchanged throughout their life. Instead of lowering the price to meet competition, they up-graded the engraving etc & then at intervals added another grade at the bottom. Very early catalogs show the E as the bottom grade, then the F was added, then G & later the H & finally the I/DS.

Posting photos on this BBS is very easy. First, move your picture to Photobucket, which is an online host. Next, copy the IMG code that shows up on the right side of the picture. Paste it in the BBS reply box along with whatever you want to say.
Presto!

Joe;
If you compare the gun Doublenut posted your G has an extra flourish at the rear of the side plate his doesn't have. None of my H's have it either. Also none of my H's have the scroll on trigger guard & bottom of action in front of the trigger plate as your G does. Though he did not post a picture of the bottom I am thinking his gun is an H.

Joe,
Thanks for you pic. 2-Piper is correct, my gun does not have the additional embellishment at the back of the side plate and it does not have anything on the trigger guard or floor plate. Thanks for everyone's input.
