Thanks David for those ads that show this model in 20 gauge first came to the market in 1912; and with a low 3-digit serial number I would think this example might have been near the introduction of 20 gauge production? Glad also to know the original stocks were English walnut, as the stock on this gun is so plain I thought it might have been birch wood.

Tom's Lefever





The pattern is "Washington"; very common on Ithacas ("American Flag), less so on Lefevers

What I've been able to gleen from the internet, the H&R double was made from 1909 to around 1920/21, which coincides fairly closely with the ads Dave posted.

I have a 28 ga at the house now that was in very rough condition that a friend asked if I could do anything with. I was able to freshen it up a bit and fix some minor mechanical issues. It does have steel barrels and I'll give it a test this week to make sure everything works properly.

Interesting discussion on Lefever DS grade guns. I own a fluid steel, 12, 28" DS with a factory straight stock, ending with a Jostam No-Shok.


I love the look Hobbs, my Vizsla, gives me following my second miss in a row.
