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.

what is it worth
The Lefever was mfg. in 1935.

The best that I can do is say that the Lefever Nitro special was made from 1921-1948.
MOST I HAVE FOUND ARE FROM $100-$200---LET ME KNOW IF IT IS FOR SALE
Crescent Fire Arms Company was the manufacturer of the Nitro Hunter shotgun. It was as an exclusive in-house brand of Belknap Hardware in Louisville.
I have an original 16 ga. nitro special made by Lefever. The sight bead is one eighth if an inch in diameter.
