Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Lefever company was founded by Daniel Lefever in 1883. The larger Ithaca Gun Company took over the Syracuse, New York-based outfit in 1916 and continued the Lefever line until 1941 at the storied Ithaca, NY, facility.
Walter Snyder’s The Ithaca Gun Company quotes this 1921 sales brochure: “This new Lefever Gun, known as the Lefever Nitro Special is well finished considering the price of $29. The Lefever will have non-breakable coil springs, the stock will be securely fastened to the frame with a draw bolt running through the grip of the stock to the frame …”
Snyder goes on to discuss bore sizes: “The Nitro Special was introduced in 12, 16 and 20 gauges. A .410 caliber was introduced in 1926.”
