Lefever Arms Company

It all depends on the condition of the gun, I own a 1941 as well given to me by my great grandfather in fair condition and that as it sits is running at between 900-1100$ so being yours is in good condition should fetch a great deal more in value aspects.

yeah, i shoot my 1923 model 12 ga. all the time, buy the AA rounds at walmart, they are lower presure than normal, and they are cheaper. just make sure they are 2 3/4 LEAD shot.
