The best that I can do is say that the Lefever Nitro special was made from 1921-1948.
If it is a double, remove barrel and you will see it along with serial #.
It is found under the breach below the barrel
around $6000
Ithaca bought Lefever and that gun is the Lefever Nitro Special. My gun has a pointer on it and 2 ivory beads, one midway on barrel. Also my gun has a rosewood stock on it. Special made gun for somebody. Lefever gun had ducks flying over a marsh on receiver.
The shotguns were manufactured by Ithaca from 1921 through 1947. Yours was manufactured in 1928.

Not clear on the question. There are no lever action double-barrel shotguns. There was a 'LeFever' in a few different variations, is that what you have? sales@countrygunsmith.net
The gun was produced c.1935 by Ithaca. Value will depend on condition, and can reach $500-$600.
