No Stan I think it was called Cape Outfitters but I cannot remember the owner's name. Someone'll come up with it...Geo Don Shrum. Thad was in Indianola, MS. JR

I've never owned an Ithaca Lefever A Grade and don't know much about them. I passed up a pretty nice one in 16 ga. a few years ago at a gun show because I was looking for another Syracuse Lefever. This was before I had heard of the very low production numbers. The price was low enough that I still kick myself. I am surprised that I see as many of them as I have with production numbers that low. I've heard they have a lot in common with Ithaca NID's and have also heard that they even share some identical parts with NID's, but do not know if that is true.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

This is an example of the earlier pre-1916 LEFEVER. The action is very different, and has cocking indicators on each side. This one was restored by Buck Hamlin.

I bought one at the Kansas City show many years ago. 20ga, standard configuration. One of those guns I should have kept.

An LAC "A" grade is a very high grade as well as highly desirable gun. From B through DS/I there were eight lower grades but only 3 higher including the elusive $1,000 dollar grade.
