I am hoping to have some nice pictures of an H and G that are being worked on by early July. Although, my photography in the past has been a disaster. Both guns were in very poor shape and are being restored or upgraded. Will post when they are done.

Who did the engraving work on these guns? It reminds me of engraving I have seen on other guns from this period.

I would say that Doug is well on his way to a Lefever. It looks like he only needs a few more parts to complete it. Now, I don't know if I would have started with a top lever!

Doug, I knew that, just giving you a hard time. Maybe a little push to finish the restoration. I'd like to see it all together.  Chris

Yep, Daryl. That'll do. Glenn
There is no sacrifice too great for someone else to make.

Check out this link to the LeFever forum. Its easier than re-posting all of my photos. This is a 12 gauge Optimus. Other than the gauge I believe this is the design they are talking about. http://lefeverforum.informe.com/viewtopic.php?t=76

DrBob,
Thanks for posting the link to your Optimus here. I took another look. These are the only Optimus photos that I have seen showing the checkering in such detail. I would guess that like other things the checkering on every Optimus was unique. Yours has some really magnificent checkering work.
Pete
