The LeFever Arms Co. shotguns, particularly the 12 gauge models, were produced primarily in the early 1900s, with serial number 16599 likely dating it to around 1910-1915. The presence of the flying goose indicates it may be a specific model related to their line of shotguns. The value of such a shotgun can vary significantly based on its condition, ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars; a well-preserved model with original features will fetch a higher price. For an accurate appraisal, consulting a firearm expert or appraiser is recommended.
