The Lefever single barrel trap gun was discontinued in 1942. Any Lefever in better than 90% condition is extremely rare and difficult to evaluate. In 90% condition it would be worth about $550; in 10%, $195.
I have the exact same gun. I'm not sure exactly how old it is but it was my great grandfathers so it's probably 80+ years. These Guns were made until 1942 and ceased after the war was in full swing. newtest3 I have nearly the same shotgun as well, from all info I have gathered, it is a true Lefever design, which means it is pre-1921 and assembled by Ithica using left over parts from their buyout of Lefever Syracuse, NY. After '21, all info I have found point to Ithica selling a less than wonderful Ithica designed shotgun under the Lefever name. Ithaca bought out Lefever in 1916. In 1927 they intorduced the Lefever Single Barrel Long Range field and Trap model. Serial No. 11697 was mfg. in 1928 and the model was produced until 1942.
The LeFever New Nitro 12 gauge shotgun was manufactured from 1936 to 1948. If it is in good condition, it can be worth about $400 to $500.
The Lefever Nitro special shotgun was made from 1921-1948.During this time frame the lefever shotguns were owned by the Ithaca Firearms Company.The price range of your shotgun if it has between 60%-90% of its original factory finish remaining is from 300-450 dollars.I hope you find this info helpful.
More information is needed to properly answer this question. Information such as guage, grade, and condition are vital in attempting give a value to a collectable grade firearm such as this. The Blue Book of Gun Values (avaliable at any large book store) give a range of from $350 for a field grade 12 guage in very poor condition to close to $40,000 for an Optimus 20 guage in very gopod condition.
Made in 1926. Value is very dependent on the condition of the gun. As a rule, 16 and 20 gauge guns are worth more than 12 gauge guns. You might watch www.gunbroker.com to see what similar guns are selling for, but I suspect that it would be in the range of $375 - $500.
500 USD
Do you mean numismatic value or monetary value? For numismatic value it would depend on a wide range of things (the year of the coin, the condition, etc). Some Canadian pennies are worth a cent or two, while others can be worth hundreds (even thousands!).
