George-and others. Maybe you can help me learn. Was on a book and odds and ends recon Fri- Saw a G Grade LeFever serial no. chart from Calazan indicated 1899- 30" Damascus barrels- DT and EXT- shortened stock with a (ugh) Herter's baby-crap brown BP-semi-pg stock tight and no splits around the locks- forearm had Acra-Glas(?) perhaps where a release latch might have been- Had the side plate cocking indicators- you had to really open the barrels with some pressure to re-set either or both hammers (I had some snap caps)- safety works, sears tight- I noticed the engaging set of hooks that cock the action when I removed the barrels-and you had to have the pivot or cam back when you reset the forearm-leaf spring snap engagement- Another "tire kicker" said he thought the forearm was a replaced one from an ejector grade LeFever-hence the "fill-in" with acra-glas in the aprox. center- but the iron had same serial no. as rest of gun and was a non-ejector series-barrels tight an on face (as judged by wiggle test with forearm off) dime in muzzles test(/) would indicate Full choke in each tube- no dents- no markings on top rib-would this be a Two-Hooker" Lefever- and what might it be worth as a project gun? Also, the other fellow said that it could be safely shot with light target loads.?? Huum!! Damascus- and possibly short chambers-If I buy it, I don't want a "frag grenade" going off in my hands- might ruin my career as a concert pianist (joke!!) RWTF
