The value of a Lefever double barrel 12 gauge shotgun, specifically model 38393 from 1872, can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and provenance. Generally, well-maintained examples can range anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. To get a precise valuation, it's best to consult a firearms appraiser or check recent auction results for similar models. Always ensure the firearm is evaluated in person for the most accurate assessment.
The Lefever was mfg. in 1935.
If it is a double, remove barrel and you will see it along with serial #.

Turn of the century.
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 best that I can do is say that the Lefever Nitro special was made from 1921-1948.
An early model Lefever single-barrel 12-gauge shotgun with a 30-inch plain barrel can be found for sale online for $300. This is the price for one that is in excellent condition.
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.
Lefever made several models through three different versions of the company. Not enough information.
The shotguns were manufactured by Ithaca from 1921 through 1947. Yours was manufactured in 1928.
