John - The Nitro Special name was used by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. You didn't tell us what kind of a shotgun it is, but I suspect it is a break-open breech single shot or double barrel. It may have side-hammers, or a boxlock with rear hammers or a hammerless boxlock and the barrel(s) may be either laminated or fluid steel. All those things and the condition of the gun will affect the value. It MIGHT be worth $250 if it is a good to very good boxlock with fluid steel barrels or less than $10 for any variation in broken/worn out/rusted condition.
The value of a 1913 Steven 12 gauge single shot nitro special depends on its condition. This gun in excellent condition is valued between 75.00 and 100.00 as of 2014.
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.
Your Lefever Nitro special will range in price from 300-450 dollars,based on your shotgun having between 60%-90% of its original finish remaining and a good set of bores.
I think that it was 1929.
It is found under the breach below the barrel

Yes, you can shoot new 12 gauge ammunition in your 1927 Lefever Nitro Special, provided that the ammunition is appropriate for the gun's specifications. The Nitro Special was designed for modern nitro powder loads, but it's essential to use standard pressure loads rather than high-pressure or magnum loads to ensure safety. Always inspect the firearm for any signs of wear or damage before use, and consult a gunsmith if you have any doubts about its condition.
