Here's the man's description of the Lefever, on GB. (whom he cheated out of a commission by failing to use buy it now to complete the auction at the negotiated price).

"Description for Item # 64551016


Nice old Lefever with 30" barrels. Barrels have turned brown, but bores are nice and shiny. No dents or bulges. This gun has a nice overall brown patina. Serial #47230 all numbers match on this all original gun, right down to the very good condition butt plate. Gun locks up great and barrels ring true. Only fault with this old classic is the safety needs adjusting, it will fire in safe position. No cracks in wood that I see. Please ask your questions before bidding. I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking!"

and here's the gun (the other side is also cracked but this makes my point...the long crack opens and closes visibly when you flex the stock)...and btw there is a dent in each bbl near the muzzles:
