Gentlemens:

I am a proponent of any such Lefever Guild gun as being labeled $1000 grade. Howsomever I don't think that just because we are using the name of the epitome of the Lefever that we have to faithfully duplicate the original finish, checkering pattern and engraving.

My thinking is that at the time the $1000 was Lefever's version of a best gun and the new one would be just that, a newly made "Best" gun. As for the exact specifics of the configuration it would be just what a thousand dollar gun was back them: exactly what you want crafted at the highest level. I don't think it would have to have a specific engraving pattern. It doesn't have to have gold. It doesn't have to be stocked in Turkish. The $1000 Grade just has to be a fine gun finely executed to the buyers specification.

My two pennies in the pond.
