It also must be remembered on the Lefevers, which I believe is the gun in question here, there are no concise records as to build dates. Bob Eliot gives his list as a "Reasonable Estimate" (My Words) but he makes no claim that they are exact, only from research that has been done. It is a well known fact that many of these guns were built out of sequence of their SNs. One "Might" be reasonably safe in selling any pre-large hook Lefever as an antique, but if I were a selling dealer I would definitely treat any large hook Lefever as a "Firearm".
