Nice score Craig. Lefevers are just wonderful guns.

Thanks all. It is an interesting gun. The forends during this period are wider than the later guns andthey just looks better proportioned to my eye. I also I like the push button forend release better than the later guns with the pull off forend. The tigger guard also runs all the way to the pistol grip cap--very classy in my opinion. The pivot lever is also very cool. The comb of the stock is also finished off like a Parker BH or above---very cool. I have much to learn about Lefervers but now I own three great examples 8 gauge E, 12ga E ejector and the F pictured.

I'd love to see some pics of the forend and comb. It's fun to see all the variations.
