(ca 1930) 26" Barrels with grooved top rib are marked "LEFEVER NITRO SPECIAL" and "LEFEVER ARMS, BRANCH ITHACA GUN CO INC. ITHACA, N. Y." on tops. Small case hardened boxlock action with automatic safety and double triggers is roll engraved with flying goose on each side of action. Plain American walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14 - 1/8" over ribbed composition buttplate. Rudimentary flat top point pattern checkering is at grip. Matching small splinter forend has pluck-off release. CONDITION: Excellent, close to "as new", with only a few scattered marks in blue of barrels which have a hint of silvering at breech ends. Action retains essentially all of its case hardening color with only loss due to some cleaned oxidation on the bottom left side. There are only four or five marks in original finish of wood, most noticeable on left side of butt. Bores are excellent. Mechanically excellent. These great little guns usually saw heavy use, this example is a true gem. MGM 210
